Projection: need to automatically qualify

San Diego's résumé features modest nonconference wins against Idaho, Grambling and Northern Arizona that are dwarfed by damaging setbacks such as the upset at Idaho State, a home loss to UC Riverside, a neutral-site defeat to Cal Baptist and lopsided showings against higher-end opponents including USC along with road losses at Long Beach State and San Jose State. Poor results away from home and an absence of signature victories leave the team with a narrow margin for error in conference play, where a home upset of Gonzaga would rewrite the narrative while routine home wins and clean road trips to Washington and St. Mary's represent the only realistic ways to repair a résumé that currently reads as built on low-end nonconference wins and several harmful losses.
