Projection: need to automatically qualify

San Jose State’s profile reads like a team with a few respectable moments but not enough résumé-changing wins, with the neutral-site victory over Loyola–Chicago and home wins against San Diego and Long Beach State and a tight game at Stanford standing out as positives; those highlights are overwhelmed by ugly road beatings at Michigan State, Utah State, Boise State and Nevada and by several lopsided losses that leave the resume thin against quality opponents away from home. Remaining conference dates include winnable home opportunities against New Mexico and Colorado State and dangerous road tests at Colorado State, UNLV, Boise State and Fresno State plus a road trip to Air Force that offers a chance to rebuild momentum, so unless San Jose State strings together unlikely résumé wins the safest route to the NCAA tournament is to secure the league’s automatic berth.
