Projection: need to automatically qualify

Old Dominion projects to need an automatic bid because its résumé lacks a marquee victory while several road setbacks against established programs have done clear damage; nonconference trips to Villanova and Xavier produced poor results and an earlier loss at George Washington left the best wins clustered against low-major foes like Norfolk State and Morgan State with a lone gritty road victory at Coastal Carolina. Conference play has been uneven and away losses at William & Mary, Richmond and George Mason undermine any claim to consistent performance away from home. The remaining slate gives the Monarchs a realistic path to repair that profile with home opportunities against Louisiana, ULM and Georgia State and a sequence of road tests at Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Southern Miss and Marshall that will decide whether they can turn head-to-head quality into profile-defining wins or must instead earn a tournament spot by winning the Sun Belt tournament.
