Projection: need to automatically qualify

PFW’s résumé is defined by a lone statement road win at Notre Dame that proves they can take care of business away from home but that single bright spot is undercut by a string of harsh road defeats at Ohio State and St. Louis and unimpressive losses at Grand Canyon and Oakland that will stick with a committee. Home victories over Eastern Michigan, Northern Kentucky and Cleveland State are useful but not resume-changing, and the lop-sided setbacks at Milwaukee and Green Bay inflict real damage. The immediate run of conference games matters: trips to Wright State and to Northern Kentucky are the sort of road tests that could flip perception while home dates with Milwaukee, IUPUI and Cleveland State are safer opportunities to rebuild momentum, and a strong run in the league tournament remains the clearest path to erase the worst results.
