Projection: need to automatically qualify

North Dakota's season has been marked by inconsistency, particularly against stronger competition, which is evident in their losses to teams like Colorado State and Alabama. While they have managed to secure some wins against lower-ranked opponents, their overall strength of schedule hampers their resume significantly. The victories against Utah Valley and Missouri Kansas City offer glimpses of potential, but the team's poor defensive performance, especially in losses against South Dakota and Nebraska Omaha, raises serious concerns. To improve their standing, they will need to not only dominate weaker teams but also capitalize on any opportunities to snag wins against mid-tier opponents, particularly during conference play, if they hope to earn an automatic bid.
