Projection: need to automatically qualify

Tulane’s resume shows some encouraging road and neutral moments, most notably the neutral-site victory over Boston College and wins away at Louisiana, East Carolina and UT San Antonio, but those positives are offset by ugly defeats such as the loss to New Orleans and the neutral-site setback to UC San Diego and by damaging home losses to UAB and North Texas that a committee will remember. The roster lacks a marquee scalp over an elite opponent and inconsistent results against mid-level competition leave little margin for error, so the remaining slate — including trips to Florida Atlantic and Memphis and home chances against Wichita State, Temple and Rice — are real opportunities to change the narrative. In plain terms, Tulane can prove it belongs by stringing together more road and neutral success or by taking the conference crown, because as built today the résumé is salvageable but far from bulletproof.
