Projection: need to automatically qualify

TX Southern’s profile is built around a handful of competitive outings against midmajor opponents but overwhelmed road showings at power programs, with lopsided losses at Gonzaga, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and Minnesota standing out as the resume’s most damaging moments and narrow defeats to Samford and Sam Houston State plus a tougher outing at Texas State among its few credible performances. The remaining path offers chances to pile up conference wins against Southern, Grambling, Alcorn State, Jackson State, Prairie View, Mississippi Valley State, Arkansas–Pine Bluff and the Alabama schools, but those victories won’t erase the impact of the heavy road losses because a committee puts real weight on road and neutral-site success against quality foes. The trip to NC State represents the clearest opportunity to produce an eye‑opening result; otherwise the season looks like one where winning the conference tournament is the most realistic route to changing how the resume is viewed.
