Projection: need to automatically qualify

West Georgia’s resume is a study in contrasting moments: the offense flashed in a high-scoring home win over Citadel and the program has come away with gritty road victories at Troy and Tennessee Tech, but those positives are overwhelmed by lopsided setbacks at Nebraska, UCLA, Georgia and Georgia Tech and by a heavy home defeat to Tennessee Tech that expose a lack of quality wins against top opponents. With the nonconference slate offering little to offset those bad losses, the team’s fate now turns on conference play where upcoming home dates against Bellarmine and Eastern Kentucky and road tests at North Florida, Jacksonville, Stetson and FGCU are the clear opportunities to repair the profile. Wins away from home or neutral-site success in those matchups would soft-pedal the damage from the big losses, whereas more poor results would leave the Bulldogs relying on a run through the conference tournament to reach the national field.
