Projection: need to automatically qualify
While Cal Baptist has shown they can handle some of their mid-tier competition, the lack of consistency is a red flag. Their resume features some decent wins against teams like Tarleton State and SF Austin, but they have stumbled against rivals they should be handling, like Utah Tech and Seattle. The close loss to a higher-tier opponent like Grand Canyon demonstrates they can punch above their weight class on a good day, but their inability to regularly beat similarly ranked teams sends a clear message about their current state. Repeated losses to Utah Valley and a disappointing performance against Seattle in a neutral setting underscore that this team will likely need to secure their conference tournament title to punch their ticket to the Big Dance, given the ups and downs of their season.
