Projection: need to automatically qualify

CS Northridge’s season reads like a team that can score in bunches but still needs a signature victory and better results away from home, with the road win at North Dakota and comfortable home results against Troy and Cal State Bakersfield standing out as the program’s best moments while heavy defeats at Northern Iowa and North Dakota State and neutral-site reversals to Idaho and Idaho State represent the kind of damaging losses that a committee will notice. The balance of the schedule hands them several clear chances to shift that perception, from a tough trip to Stanford to difficult road dates at UC San Diego and Hawaii and high-profile home tests against UC Santa Barbara and Long Beach State, and those outcomes will determine whether their résumé looks like it reflects upward momentum or remains defined by inconsistent play and troubles away from home.
