Projection: need to automatically qualify

Prairie View’s résumé is built around a key neutral-site victory over North Florida and a handful of competitive outings away from home, notably the tight loss at Tennessee Martin and the narrow game at North Texas, but those positives are erased in the committee’s eyes by lopsided road defeats at Wichita State, Oklahoma State and Missouri and a difficult trip to South Dakota that underline the team’s struggles against higher-level opposition away from its arena. The remaining slate gives Prairie View two high-profile road tests at LSU and Texas A&M that represent its clearest chances to add a signature win and change external perception, while most other games are conference matchups against opponents such as Grambling, Southern, Jackson State, Alcorn State, Mississippi Valley State and the Alabama programs that are essentially must-wins to avoid further resume damage. Because quality wins and success on the road carry the most weight, Prairie View’s immediate outlook rests on seizing those marquee opportunities and cleaning up in its conference schedule to erase the sting of the earlier blowouts.
