Projection: need to automatically qualify

Oregon State’s résumé reads like a team that can beat quality mid-majors but has been undone by a few ugly spots, with solid wins over the likes of North Texas, Montana State and Vermont offset by the road loss at Oregon and a string of neutral-site defeats to Evansville, Iona and Massachusetts plus nonconference setbacks to Cal Baptist and Sam Houston State. Those damaging results make the best wins look light since the Beavers still lack a signature road or neutral triumph, which is the kind of thing committees prize. The remaining slate presents meaningful opportunities — a road trip to Arizona State, a true road test at Saint Mary’s, a home date with Gonzaga and a run of conference games against San Francisco, Seattle, Loyola Marymount, San Diego and Pepperdine — and cleaning up the performance in those spots is the clearest path to wiping away the bad losses and moving into safer territory.
