Projection: need to automatically qualify

Eastern Washington's placement is logical because its resume mixes a handful of respectable results with a string of damaging defeats away from home that leave little room for an at-large case. The bright spots are a solid home win over Missouri Kansas City, a tight home victory against Montana and a road triumph at Idaho State, but those are outweighed by heavy losses at UCLA, Colorado, Utah and BYU and by a neutral-site setback to Washington State that laid bare defensive inconsistencies. The team still has meaningful chances to alter perception with road dates at Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Montana and Montana State and home tests against Weber State and Portland State, yet unless it produces eye-catching wins away from campus the clearest path to the NCAA field runs through winning the conference tournament.
