Projection: need to automatically qualify

The projection is logical because Wofford’s résumé is built on solid conference road wins at Chattanooga and at Western Carolina and an ability to score in bunches, yet it is offset by ugly nonconference losses on the road at George Mason and at Auburn and by heavy defeats at Wichita State and Mercer that exposed defensive problems away from home. They never landed a true signature victory over a high-major opponent and their most impressive results came against league peers, so the profile lacks the kind of top-end wins the committee rewards, and late setbacks at Samford, at Citadel and the neutral-site loss to UNC Greensboro only deepened the hole. With that mix of limited quality wins and several damaging losses, the only realistic path to the field for Wofford is to take the Southern Conference’s automatic berth.
