Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southeast Missouri State’s résumé is defined by a handful of impressive tests away at St. Louis, Missouri and Iowa that turned into heavy defeats and by surprising home setbacks that blunt the impact of its profile, while its best moments — a neutral win over Cal Poly and a road victory at Chattanooga — prove it can beat quality opponents but not consistently enough in hostile environments. Those lopsided losses to high-major teams and a couple of mid-major defeats give the committee pause because there are too few meaningful wins away from home and not enough signature victories to offset the damage. The remaining Ohio Valley slate, with games against Tennessee Tech and Tennessee State and a run through familiar conference foes such as Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Morehead State, Southern Indiana and Arkansas-Little Rock, is the practical path to repair the resume, but meaningful road or neutral wins and avoidance of another bad loss are the clearest ways to change the committee’s perception.
