Projection: need to automatically qualify

California's resume is shaky at best, following a season marked by inconsistency. While they have secured wins against teams like Virginia and NC State, their losses to higher-ranked opponents such as Vanderbilt, Missouri, and Duke raise significant concerns about their competitiveness against quality teams. The defensive struggles are evident, especially in games against Missouri and Vanderbilt, where they allowed a hefty number of points. Upcoming matchups present a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges; wins against Wake Forest and NC State would bolster their standing, but facing teams like Duke and Louisville could worsen their prospects significantly if they struggle as they have in previous high-stakes encounters.
