Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cal Baptist's current record and early-season wins show promise, but their overall standing is precarious. While they secured victories against Incarnate Word and Kennesaw State, the close loss to UC Riverside and the defeat to Northern Colorado signal that they struggle against teams that pose a significant challenge. Their computer rankings indicate a lack of consistency, especially on defense, where they have been below par. Upcoming games, particularly against higher-ranked opponents like UCF and UC Irvine, are critical; a strong performance could shift their trajectory positively, while losses would further diminish their chances for an at-large bid. Consistency in both offensive and defensive play will be crucial as the season unfolds, especially in the WAC, where every game matters for their postseason aspirations.
