Projection: need to automatically qualify

PFW’s résumé is built around a marquee road win at Notre Dame and useful road victories at Detroit and Robert Morris, but those positives are offset by ugly losses away to Ohio State and Saint Louis and heavy defeats against conference foes such as Youngstown State and Green Bay, which leave the profile lacking the consistent road and neutral-site quality the committee prizes; with few high-end nonconference neutral wins and an offense-defense profile that produces mixed results away from home, the clearest path to the NCAA field is through the Horizon’s automatic berth, and the upcoming road tests at Northern Kentucky and Cleveland State along with the regular-season matchup with Wright State are their last real opportunities to reshape how the committee will judge this resume.
