Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ohio’s résumé is a study in contrast: it has flashed resume-building wins that committees prize, like road victories at Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan and the neutral-site triumph over St. Bonaventure, but those moments are offset by damaging showings such as heavy road defeats at St. Mary’s and Louisville and baffling home setbacks to Bethune-Cookman and Bowling Green. The nonconference slate includes a quality home win over Illinois State and a disappointing home loss to Arkansas State, leaving the overall profile light on marquee road or neutral victories against top opponents while carrying some resume hits that keep the case alive. How the season finishes matters greatly because upcoming conference road tests at Toledo and Buffalo and league dates at Ball State and Northern Illinois offer opportunities to erase the bad losses and add the sorts of road and neutral results selection panels prize.
