Projection: need to automatically qualify

TAM C. Christi's resume is defined by a gritty road win at Lamar that shows it can steal victories away from home but that bright spot has been buried by a brutal nonconference swing that produced lopsided losses at Kansas, Xavier, Oklahoma State, SMU and Tarleton State and exposed an uneven offense. The defense has been the steadier foundation through that slate, yet the lack of a quality neutral or true road triumph leaves the margin for error slim. A long Southland run gives clear chances to repair the resume with road tests at McNeese State and Incarnate Word and home dates against Houston Christian and New Orleans, while a couple of tricky league road trips could deepen the hole if mishandled. Converting those league opportunities into decisive wins and adding a meaningful road or neutral victory will be the simplest way to offset the damage from the early nonconference setbacks.
