Projection: likely out

Pacific’s résumé has moments that argue for inclusion and moments that undercut it; a competitive road outing at Nevada and meaningful road wins at Oregon State and CS Fullerton show the team can win away from home, but lopsided defeats at BYU and Florida Atlantic and damaging road trips at Santa Clara and Portland make the profile look fragile. Most of the victories come against lesser opponents or on home floors that won’t sway a committee without follow-up success at neutral or hostile sites, so the lack of a true marquee scalp leaves Pacific leaning toward the outside. Upcoming games at San Francisco and at Gonzaga and a home showdown with St Mary’s are clear chances to change the picture, but until any of those turns into a signature victory the committee’s hesitation is understandable.
