Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tulane’s resume reads like a team with flashes and liabilities: a signature neutral win over Boston College and a gritty road victory at Louisiana stand out as the program’s best moments, while an ugly loss to New Orleans and a neutral-site defeat at Utah State exposed defensive weaknesses and inconsistency. The offense can carry the team on good nights but the lack of reliable defense and uneven results away from home keep the resume teetering, so the rest of the schedule matters. Road tests at Memphis and at UAB would meaningfully change the narrative, home dates with Wichita State and Tulsa and league matchups with North Texas and FAU are clearer opportunities to add quality wins, and the neutral games against UC San Diego along with the outing against Akron and trips to Temple and the home game with Rice give Tulane concrete chances to erase the damage of that New Orleans setback.
