Projection: need to automatically qualify

San Jose State’s profile is built around a few clear moments: a neutral-site victory over Loyola-Chicago and comfortable home wins against Southern University and San Diego that show the team can close out weaker foes, but those positives are outweighed by damaging results away from home, notably trips to Utah, UC Santa Barbara and Michigan State that ended in losses and a heavy neutral-site setback to Tulsa that will loom large with the committee. The resume lacks signature road or neutral wins that would erase those blemishes, and while the Mountain West slate ahead includes home dates against Fresno State, Air Force and UNLV and chance encounters at Stanford, New Mexico, Utah State, Grand Canyon, Nevada and Boise State, the team needs to pick up quality wins away from its building and avoid more bad losses if it hopes to change the narrative.
