Projection: need to automatically qualify

S Carolina St's résumé is defined more by a string of bruising road defeats at major programs like Louisville, Missouri and South Carolina and an uphill trip to Tennessee than by quality wins. A couple of tight outings, most notably a narrow loss at South Dakota and a competitive game at SC Upstate, show fight but are not the kind of road or neutral victories selection committees reward. The nonconference slate offers no signature wins to erase those lopsided losses and the team's offensive and defensive profiles sit toward the bottom of the national picture, which magnifies the damage of blowouts. With the rest of the schedule stacked with conference matchups and several true road tests at league homes such as Morgan State and Coppin State, the only realistic path to improving the résumé is to string together road wins and take care of business in league play.
