Projection: need to automatically qualify

San Francisco looks like it will need the West Coast Conference automatic bid because its resume is defined by a few eye-catching neutral-site wins over Minnesota and Mississippi State and a tight road showing at Gonzaga but is otherwise eroded by damaging home setbacks such as the loss to North Alabama and multiple beatings by St. Mary’s and Oregon State that lower its profile; the committee values road and neutral victories and those signature moments are not numerous enough to overcome the inconsistency, so the remaining chances — a home meeting with Gonzaga and road trips to San Diego and Pacific — are the last realistic opportunities to add a marquee scalp and alter the picture before the conference tournament becomes the clearest path to the field.
