Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cal Poly's season has been a mixed bag, and their road ahead presents both challenges and opportunities. They’ve shown the ability to compete against higher-ranked teams, such as their close games with San Francisco and Arizona State, but have also struggled defensively, which is evident in their losses and high-profile matchups like against California and St. Mary's. Going forward, crucial games against UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara will heavily influence their standing; a strong showing in those contests could boost their resume, while dropping those matches could solidify their need to secure an automatic tournament berth through the Big West conference. Ultimately, their future hinges on how they can tighten their defense and capitalize on opportunities against both ranked and mid-tier opponents.
