Projection: need to automatically qualify
Prairie View’s profile makes clear why the team needs to secure its conference title because the season’s best moments amount to a narrow neutral-site win over North Florida and a handful of close conference victories that show toughness but not marquee quality. Those positives are swamped by lopsided losses at Wichita State, Oklahoma State, Missouri, LSU, and Texas A&M that signal a gap with high-level opponents. The team has been competitive in league road games with tight results at Jackson State and Alcorn State and a close outing at Texas Southern so the upcoming home dates with Jackson State and Alcorn State and the trip to Texas Southern are genuine opportunities to alter the resume. Unless Prairie View strings together those conference wins and captures the league’s automatic berth the overall body of work contains too few signature victories and too many damaging defeats to justify an at-large seat.
