Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southern Utah’s resume reads like a team that can win the league but cannot yet make a case for an at-large bid, because its few bright spots are largely against conference peers while its worst moments came on true road trips to power-conference arenas; the squad’s most valuable results include road wins at Abilene Christian and UT Arlington, a home victory over Utah Valley and a neutral-site triumph against Stetson, but those are dwarfed by lopsided losses at Gonzaga and Washington and difficult defeats at Arizona State and Washington State that leave the committee with little signature quality to reward, and although road tests at Tarleton State and Abilene Christian and upcoming home games against Utah Tech, Utah Valley and Cal Baptist offer clear chances to build momentum, the only reliable route to the NCAA field for this group is to capture the Western Athletic’s automatic berth.
