Projection: need to automatically qualify

SIUE’s resume is built on conference work and a handful of meaningful road and neutral-site victories such as the trips to Drake and Arkansas Little Rock and the neutral win over Alabama State, yet it is undermined by nonconference setbacks on the road at Wisconsin and at Air Force plus a poor result against Indiana State that damage any at-large narrative. The program has shown it can win away from home in league play and answered with a strong home win over Eastern Illinois, but the road loss and neutral-site defeat involving that same opponent expose inconsistency against comparable foes. Those contrasting moments, combined with the profile’s lack of a marquee nonconference signature, leave the team dependent on earning its spot through the conference’s automatic path rather than relying on an at-large invite.
