Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tennessee State’s résumé mixes bright road moments — most notably the win at UNLV and solid victories away at Arkansas–Little Rock and Western Illinois — with damaging setbacks like the blowout at Tennessee and the inexplicable loss at Alabama A&M that a committee will notice, and while the team has piled up high-scoring home wins against lesser foes and grabbed several conference victories, it lacks a true marquee neutral-site signature and carries enough bad results to blunt its at-large case; that makes the remaining trip to Tennessee Martin and the Ohio Valley tournament the decisive window, because a league title is the straightforward way to erase the blemishes and guarantee a place in the field.
