Projection: need to automatically qualify

West Georgia looks like a team that will need the league's automatic bid because its resume is built around a few gritty road wins at mid-majors such as North Florida, Troy and North Alabama and a close victory over Bellarmine while its most damaging moments are lopsided losses at major programs like Nebraska, UCLA and Georgia and poor results against conference peers including Jacksonville and Tennessee Tech. Those heavy defeats away from home undercut any at-large case since the profile lacks signature neutral-site wins over top opponents and is punctuated by losses that selection committees view as resume killers. The remaining conference games and the league tournament are the meaningful opportunities to flip that narrative because wins in those settings against familiar foes will carry far more weight than another middling nonconference result.
