Projection: need to automatically qualify
Cal Baptist’s resume rests on the fact that it can win in hostile places, with road victories at Oregon State and UC Irvine and a neutral-site win over San Diego complementing steady home wins like the one over UC Riverside, but those highs are offset by a lopsided neutral loss to BYU and damaging road setbacks at Colorado and Utah that reveal struggles against power-conference opponents. The remaining Western Athletic slate presents clear opportunities to change the narrative with important road tests at Utah Valley, UT Arlington and Tarleton State along with approachable home dates against Utah Tech and Abilene Christian and a trip to Southern Utah, so the team’s standing will come down to whether it can add more road or neutral wins and avoid another bad loss away from home.
