Projection: need to automatically qualify

Troy's resume is a study in contrasts, anchored by high-leverage road wins at Kent, Furman and San Diego State and bolstered by a gritty win at UAB, yet marred by surprising slips like the losses at Loyola Marymount and Cal State Northridge and a home defeat to West Georgia. Those marquee road successes show the team can win away from home and give it the kind of quality victories committees prize, but close defeats at USC and a neutral setback to Toledo keep the profile from feeling firmly settled. What matters now is the finish: the conference slate hands Troy multiple straightforward chances to erase those damaging blemishes against the likes of Texas State, South Alabama, Arkansas State and Louisiana along with road checks at Old Dominion and Georgia Southern, and a pair of resume-building road or neutral wins down the stretch would turn the good wins into a resume that can withstand scrutiny.
