Projection: need to automatically qualify
Western Michigan’s resume offers a mix of reassuring home wins over Coastal Car and Mount St. Mary’s and a road victory at SIUE that show it can beat its mid‑major peers but the résumé is undercut by ugly losses at Ohio State and Valparaiso and road setbacks at Campbell and South Dakota that expose a team vulnerable away from quality opposition. That unevenness leaves the Broncos with a body of work built mostly at home and lacking signature wins away, so upcoming games against Buffalo at home and conference road trips to Toledo, Miami of Ohio and Akron are clear opportunities to add quality wins and erase earlier damage while losses to teams like Northern Illinois or Kent would amplify the existing concerns.
