Projection: need to automatically qualify

NE Omaha’s profile is shaped by a handful of respectable mid‑major wins at Portland State and Lamar and a home victory over Southern Utah that show the roster can close out winnable games, but those flashes are overwhelmed by ugly outings at power conference opponents such as LSU, Oregon and Colorado State and neutral losses to established mid‑majors that underline a gap versus top competition. The offense has produced in spurts yet the defense has been porous in the worst defeats, and the resume suffers because there are almost no signature wins away from home or on neutral courts to offset those blemishes. The remaining conference slate contains several straightforward home opportunities to pile up victories but also tough road trips to the likes of North Dakota State and Oral Roberts that represent the only realistic path to a notable win that would change how the resume is viewed. Until Omaha turns one of those high‑visibility road tests into a quality result, the body of work reads like a team that can win its league games but still needs a marquee road or neutral victory to erase the more damaging losses.
