Projection: need to automatically qualify

SC Upstate’s profile is built around a high‑value road win at Fresno State and a cluster of home victories over NC Central, Coastal Carolina and Western Carolina that show the team can close out games, but those positives are undercut by tough defeats at Nebraska and at North Carolina and by nonconference losses at Cal Baptist, UNC Wilmington and West Georgia that raise questions about consistency away from home. The lack of a neutral‑site statement win means there is little cushion for the blemishes, so the remaining Big South slate is decisive; trips to places like Winthrop, Longwood, Charleston Southern, Gardner Webb and Presbyterian and home dates against conference foes give clear opportunities to shore up the résumé and prove the team can finish the way the selection committee prefers.
