Projection: likely out

Richmond's resume is built around a gritty road victory at Belmont and a neutral-site win over Charlotte that show the program can close games away from its building, but those bright spots are undercut by a close neutral loss to Furman and a slate of home wins against lower-tier opponents like VMI, Gardner‑Webb, and William & Mary that leave the profile light on signature scalps. The selection committee will take notice of the Belmont win but will also see a scarcity of road and neutral wins over established teams, and the remaining opportunities on the schedule — including tough road trips to St. Louis, VCU, and Davidson plus key matchups at Rhode Island and at George Washington — are where Richmond must prove it belongs against quality opponents. Until those games are decided, the overall impression is a team that has flashed potential but still needs a resume-changing victory away from home to alter how it will be judged.
