Projection: need to automatically qualify

San Diego’s profile is built on a couple of routine home wins over Idaho and Grambling but has been undercut by damaging home setbacks to UC Riverside and Cal Baptist and by road losses at Long Beach State and San Jose State, which together leave the resume light on signature road or neutral-site victories and reveal clear struggles away from home. The best moments so far are modest and mostly beatable opponents at home, while the worst results are those unexpected losses that will stick with a selection committee, so the team’s standing now depends on taking advantage of looming opportunities such as the high‑visibility home test with USC, a home date with Gonzaga, and the handful of true road chances at Washington, St. Mary’s, San Francisco and Santa Clara that could turn a middling résumé into a respectable one.
