Projection: need to automatically qualify

Northern Arizona’s body of work includes respectable home victories over Cal Poly, Southeast Missouri State and Eastern Washington and a road win at Idaho State, but those moments are overwhelmed by blowout losses at Arizona and Arizona State and lopsided road defeats at Montana and Montana State that sap the resume. The team struggled to win away from home, dropping road games at Montana and Weber State and falling in neutral settings against Drake and San Diego, and while splitting with Sacramento State and beating conference rivals like Northern Colorado and Southern Utah added texture those are not the marquee wins a committee values so the clearest path off the bubble is an automatic qualification.
