Projection: need to automatically qualify

Portland State’s résumé features genuine road victories and a steady home win but is marred by heavy setbacks at Stanford and San Francisco that cast doubt on its ability to win in hostile environments. The road wins at Utah Tech and South Dakota and the home victory over Cal State Bakersfield are the team’s best moments because they show it can close games away from home and handle a midmajor opponent at home, while the defeats at Stanford and San Francisco are the worst moments because they raise questions about consistency against stronger nonconference competition. A remaining schedule that mixes winnable home dates against conference peers with high‑leverage opportunities on the road at Colorado, at Tulane and through a stretch of Big Sky tests at Weber State, Northern Arizona and the Montana schools gives Portland State clear paths to repair its résumé or to suffer further damage depending on how it finishes.
