Projection: need to automatically qualify
Temple's early season has been solid, but their two wins come against teams that are not particularly strong, making their record less impressive. Additionally, the close loss to Boston College suggests that while they can compete, they need to bolster their resume with victories against higher-ranked opponents. Looking ahead, games against Florida State and Rhode Island will be critical; a win in either contest could significantly enhance their standing. To improve their chances further, they must secure victories in matchups against teams like Wichita State and Memphis, given their national recognition. Overall, they will need to capitalize on these opportunities to move from a potential automatic qualification scenario to a more secure position in the tournament discussions.
