Projection: need to automatically qualify

Idaho State’s résumé is a blend of genuine road chops and some resume-damaging setbacks, with the road victory at San Diego and solid wins at Missouri–Kansas City and over Cal State Northridge on a neutral floor serving as the program’s best evidence it can win away from home, while lopsided defeats at San Diego State and on nonconference trips to Seattle and Santa Clara plus home losses to Utah Valley and UC Davis highlight a troubling inconsistency; because the team already has been tested on the road, its wins carry more weight but so do its losses, and the remaining slate — road dates at Montana State, Montana, Weber State and a return trip to Cal State Sacramento along with home games against Idaho and Eastern Washington and a key meeting at Portland State — gives clear opportunities to add meaningful victories or to compound the damage, which is why its current standing reflects both upside and significant risk.
