Projection: need to automatically qualify

CS Bakersfield's current standing reflects a combination of early-season struggles and missed opportunities. Their loss to California was a tough start against a solid opponent, indicating they need to improve their defense, which has proved unreliable so far. While they found success against North Dakota State and Fresno State, these wins were against teams that aren't considered elite, limiting their overall resume strength. Upcoming challenges include matchups against UC Irvine and Portland State, which will test their ability to perform against higher-caliber teams. For CS Bakersfield to solidify their tournament hopes, winning critical games against conference rivals and pulling off upset victories is essential, especially given that most games on their schedule show a reasonable chance to improve their standings.
