Projection: need to automatically qualify

Eastern Washington’s resume is anchored by a convincing win over Missouri Kansas City but has been undercut by a string of damaging results away from home, so committee eyes will focus on the lack of meaningful road and neutral-site success. Losses at UCLA, Loyola Marymount, Colorado, Seattle, Central Arkansas, North Texas and Denver make clear the team struggles in hostile environments and offer few marquee scalps to balance that ledger. Upcoming home dates with Cal Baptist and a neutral test against Washington State are useful but limited chances to improve, while trips to Utah and BYU represent long-shot opportunities to flip the narrative. The Big Sky schedule still offers the traditional route to repair the profile with home games against Idaho, Montana and Montana State and road visits to Weber State and Sacramento where statement wins would change how the resume reads, but until Eastern Washington converts road or neutral opportunities into quality victories the combination of damaging losses and a modest nonconference body of work leaves the team reliant on a strong conference showing to reshape its standing.
