Projection: need to automatically qualify

Nebraska Omaha’s profile is a classic committee resume that has flashes but more questions, because the program has a gritty road win at Portland State and a plucky home victory over Southern Utah but is undermined by neutral-site setbacks to Murray State and James Madison and heavy defeats on the road at Colorado State and LSU that suggest they can be overwhelmed by stronger opposition. A narrow road loss at Abilene Christian and a disappointing home loss to Northern Colorado leave ugly blemishes against teams the committee treats as middling, and outside of the Portland State result there are no signature wins to offset those blemishes. What keeps the outlook from collapsing entirely is a conference schedule that still offers chances to prove themselves away from home—trips to Oregon and South Dakota State and tests against North Dakota State and Oral Roberts will matter a great deal—while winnable home dates against Missouri–Kansas City and Denver provide opportunities to build a cleaner resume before selection time.
