Projection: need to automatically qualify

Montana's profile is a mix of encouraging road victories and costly nonconference damage. The team showed it can win away from home with a road triumph at UNLV and another road win at North Dakota and it collected a solid home result against Cal Poly, but that promise is undermined by lopsided defeats at Stanford and Louisville and by losses to Oakland, North Dakota State and Lamar that will read as detrimental to a selection committee. Those setbacks, combined with inconsistent results on the road against major conference opponents, leave few signature wins and place a premium on conference play; a strong stretch that protects home dates such as Northern Arizona and Weber State while producing meaningful road wins at Northern Colorado, Montana State or Cal State Sacramento is the clearest path to repairing the resume and assembling the road and neutral success the committee values.
