Projection: need to automatically qualify

Northern Colorado's résumé is anchored by road wins at Pepperdine and Portland, a neutral-site victory over Cal State Fullerton, and a convincing defensive performance at Air Force, which show the team can win away from home. The neutral loss to St Thomas Minnesota is a clear blemish and there is a shortage of marquee nonconference scalps to offset it because most wins came against lower-tier opponents. The remaining schedule includes true resume-changing road chances at Texas Tech and at Colorado and a Big Sky stretch with meaningful tests at Montana State and at Montana plus important home dates against Weber State and Idaho that will shape the committee's view. Put simply, the profile displays road competence but a lack of high-end wins, and how the team performs in those upcoming opportunities will decide whether that balance flips.
