Projection: need to automatically qualify

Southern Utah’s profile reads like a team whose path to the big dance runs through winning its conference because its few bright spots, including home wins over Tarleton State, Abilene Christian and Utah Valley and a neutral-site victory at Stetson, are overwhelmed by heavy road defeats at opponents such as Gonzaga and Washington and by a pattern of struggles away from home that also includes losses at Arizona State, Washington State and Oregon State. Those lopsided setbacks leave the resume thin on durable road or neutral wins that selection panels value, so while the remaining league games, including road trips to UT Arlington and Abilene Christian and home dates with Utah Tech and Cal Baptist, offer chances to improve, the most reliable route to the national field is to capture the conference’s automatic spot.
