Projection: need to automatically qualify

Northern Colorado’s résumé features eye-catching road wins at Pepperdine and Portland and a high-scoring neutral victory over CS Fullerton, plus convincing road showings at Air Force and NE Omaha that underscore the offense’s ability away from home. Those peaks are tempered by damaging nonconference setbacks, most notably a lopsided trip to Texas Tech, a home loss to Denver and a tight neutral defeat to St Thomas MN that leave blemishes the committee will notice. The stretch ahead, highlighted by a road date at Colorado and a run of conference home-and-away tests against Montana St and Montana along with matchups against Weber St, CS Sacramento, Portland St and Northern Arizona, gives clear chances to add resume-building wins or accumulate more wear on a middling profile. How Northern Colorado finishes in true road and neutral settings will determine whether the offensive résumé ultimately outweighs the damaging losses.
