Projection: need to automatically qualify

Miami OH's season has been a mixed bag, with solid wins peppered among some disappointing losses. Their victories against teams like Appalachian State and Kent State suggest they can compete effectively in their conference and against teams of similar caliber. However, a glaring weakness is their performance against higher-tier opponents, highlighted by their loss to Michigan, where they were unable to contain the offensive firepower. The shaky defensive rankings, particularly in losses, indicate that they struggle under pressure against stronger teams—most notably evident in their blowout defeat to Akron. Moving forward, they need to capitalize on upcoming matchups against teams within their conference, as these games present a prime opportunity to build their resume and solidify a playoff spot.
