Projection: need to automatically qualify

Presbyterian’s placement reflects a resume that pairs a handful of resume-building conference wins, highlighted by a road victory at Georgia State and home wins over ETSU and Charleston Southern, with a string of damaging nonconference defeats at major-conference opponents such as South Carolina, UCLA and California. The team has shown it can win tough road games and grind out close finishes, but those moments are offset by several lopsided losses that call into question its consistency against top competition. The committee will notice the lack of signature neutral-site wins and the vulnerability to blowouts away from home, so the safest path to the field runs through the conference tournament. Upcoming games against Radford, Gardner-Webb and Longwood plus road tests at UNC Asheville and Winthrop are clear opportunities to change the narrative while any slip against middling conference foes would further weaken an at-large case.
