Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tennessee Tech’s resume is defined by a contrast between some resume-building road victories and a handful of damaging losses on the biggest stages, and that contrast explains its current placement. The program’s most useful wins came away from home at West Georgia and at SC Upstate, which demonstrate the team can close out games in hostile settings, but those victories come against low-end opponents and do not offset the severity of blowouts at Kentucky and at Georgia or the setbacks at WKU, Charlotte and at Lipscomb. A home slip to West Georgia underlines an inconsistency that selection committees will notice, and the remaining conference slate—with home opportunities against Arkansas Little Rock, Eastern Illinois and Western Illinois and challenging road tests at Lindenwood and SIUE—gives Tennessee Tech a clear path to improve its standing if it racks up quality road and neutral wins and avoids further damaging defeats.
