Projection: need to automatically qualify

Eastern Washington’s résumé is built on a handful of decent home results, most notably the win over Missouri Kansas City and narrow victories against Montana and Idaho State, but those highlights are swamped by ugly road losses at major-conference stops like UCLA, Colorado, Utah and BYU and by a general inability to win away from home, which leaves the at-large case thin. The nonconference slate produced no signature neutral-site win and the bad losses to both high majors and lesser midmajors damage how a committee would view the profile. With more winnable dates still on the home calendar against Sacramento and Idaho State and a string of true road tests at Montana, Montana State and Portland State, the clearest path to the NCAA field runs through capturing the Big Sky’s automatic berth rather than relying on committee favor.
