Projection: need to automatically qualify

Idaho’s resume hinges on a road victory at Washington State that proves the program can beat power-conference opposition away from home, but that marquee moment is undercut by a crushing neutral-site loss to Sam Houston State and road setbacks at San Diego and UC San Diego that expose persistent inconsistency outside its building. A comfortable home win over North Dakota and a neutral win over CS Northridge help the profile, yet the committee will fixate on the damage from those lopsided defeats and the thin body of quality road and neutral results. Upcoming chances at Notre Dame and South Dakota State and a gauntlet of conference trips to the likes of Montana, Montana State and Weber State offer clear pathways to repair the résumé if Idaho can replicate its Washington State performance away from home, but until that happens the picture reads as a team with a headline win and troubling blemishes that need to be erased.
