Projection: need to automatically qualify

CS Northridge’s profile has a few encouraging wins, most notably an offensive showcase on the road at North Dakota and solid home victories such as the one over Troy and a nonconference home finish against CS Bakersfield, but those positives are outweighed by ugly setbacks like the lopsided loss at Northern Iowa and the neutral-site defeats to Idaho and Idaho State that hurt the resume. The team has shown it can score in different venues yet has not produced a résumé-defining road or neutral triumph against an established opponent, and the road loss at North Dakota State underscores that inconsistency away from home. The remaining slate hands them clear chances to change the narrative with road tests at UC Irvine and Stanford and a pair of tricky neutral and conference affairs, while home dates against UC Santa Barbara and other league rivals are must-win opportunities to erase the damage from earlier bad defeats and improve how the résumé reads to a committee.
