Projection: need to automatically qualify

CS Fullerton’s résumé reads like a team that can compete but has not yet done enough to be comfortably chosen without winning its conference, because eye-opening wins away from home and at neutral sites coexist with damaging, lopsided defeats at major-conference venues. Road victories at Denver and Long Beach State and a home triumph over UC Santa Barbara demonstrate the roster can close tough games in hostile settings, but blowout losses at SMU and California and a poor showing at Oklahoma State highlight a ceiling against top competition. Conference play has produced résumé-building wins against in-state rivals alongside disappointing losses at UC Irvine and at UC Santa Barbara, so there is not a marquee road victory to counter the bad losses. Upcoming home dates with Hawaii and UC San Diego and a final road trip to CS Northridge offer clear chances to erase damaging results and firm up a case that otherwise feels precarious.
