Projection: need to automatically qualify

Texas State's profile reads like a team that has flashes but not the résumé of an at-large selection. Best moments such as road wins at Georgia Southern and ULM and a home victory over Western Michigan show it can beat quality midmajor opposition both away from home and on its own floor, and a league win over Louisiana adds a useful signature. Those bright spots are undercut by damaging road defeats at Bowling Green and Tulane and a rough trip to James Madison and a lopsided outing at Troy that create real doubts about consistency against stronger nonconference foes. Neutral-site setbacks to Seattle and Southern Miss and a narrow road loss at Arkansas State underscore the absence of a marquee nonconference scalp and the presence of losses the committee will notice. With limited high-end wins the clearest path for Texas State runs through the conference tournament where securing the automatic bid is the team's best route into the NCAA field.
