Projection: need to automatically qualify

Idaho's resume presents a challenging picture, marked by a lack of signature victories and struggles against tougher opponents. Their defeats to teams like Washington State and BYU showcase the difficulty they face when up against higher-tier competition, while the win against UC Riverside is a notable highlight, albeit not against an elite program. With upcoming games against teams such as Montana State and Montana, which are critical matchups that could bolster their standing, Idaho must seize these opportunities. However, their weak defensive metrics raise serious concerns about their ability to contend effectively, especially in the high-stakes environment of the postseason. Ultimately, without a strong finish to their season and a possible automatic qualification through the conference tournament, their chances of making the NCAA field remain slim.
