Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tarleton State’s best moments have been road wins at Rice and at UT Arlington and a solid home victory over Cal Baptist that show they can beat mid‑major opponents away from their own gym, while the worst moments are heavy losses at SMU, LSU, Baylor and Cincinnati and a home setback to Utah Valley that expose offensive inconsistency against quality teams. Those contrasting results shape the résumé because there are no signature wins over high‑major foes to counterbalance the damaging road defeats. The upcoming conference slate, with trips to Southern Utah and Utah Tech and home dates with Abilene Christian and Utah Valley plus another visit to Cal Baptist, is the clearest path to add meaningful wins away from their gym and prove they can close out tight games against comparable opponents. How they perform in those opportunities will determine whether the mid‑major victories hold up or whether the early blowouts remain the defining headline.
