Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cal Poly’s profile is anchored by eye‑catching road wins at Seattle, Utah, and Cal State Fullerton that show the team can close games away from home, but those positives are undermined by ugly losses at USC and at UCLA and by damaging setbacks to mid‑major opponents such as Northern Arizona, UC Riverside, Montana, and Montana State that make the resume look inconsistent. A neutral‑site loss to Southeast Missouri State and continued defensive lapses on the road compound the concern and put more weight on every remaining result. With conference trips to Long Beach State, UC Santa Barbara, and Hawaii and important home dates versus UC Davis, Cal State Fullerton, and Cal State Bakersfield still on the slate, the team has clear opportunities to add meaningful wins and to erase bad losses, and how it performs in those specific venues will ultimately decide whether the handful of resume builders outweigh the pattern of vulnerability.
