Projection: need to automatically qualify
North Dakota's current standing is precarious, highlighted by a mixed bag of results and a concerning overall record. The team has struggled against higher-ranked opponents, suffering decisive losses, such as the one against Colorado State and Notre Dame. Their narrow victories, including a hard-fought win over Utah Valley, showcase potential but also expose a fragile offense that has difficulty consistently scoring against tougher defenses. Upcoming matches against teams like UT San Antonio and Nebraska Omaha present critical opportunities to boost their resume; however, challenges loom large with games against powerhouses like Alabama and a rematch with Utah Valley. The path to the tournament hinges on not only winning more games but also doing so against competitive teams to enhance their standing significantly.
