Projection: need to automatically qualify

The projection is sensible because Missouri KC’s résumé contains a lone quality moment in a road victory at Nebraska Omaha but is otherwise defined by heavy defeats at power‑conference sites such as Texas, TCU, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and by ugly losses to mid‑major opponents like Lindenwood and Weber State, which leaves the profile without the signature neutral or road wins the committee prizes. Road misfires at St. Thomas and South Dakota State underscore how poorly the team has performed away from home and those results compound the damage of league losses at Denver and North Dakota. Remaining regular‑season chances, including a home date with Oral Roberts and road tests at North Dakota and North Dakota State, offer the sort of improvements that can move a résumé but they demand a clear reversal from how the team has been playing. Given the quality of the losses, the lack of meaningful wins against strong opponents and the need for road or neutral‑site success, the most realistic path to the NCAA field is to secure the conference’s automatic berth.
