Projection: need to automatically qualify
San Jose State’s profile is built on a signature neutral win over Loyola-Chicago and solid home victories over San Diego and Long Beach State that demonstrate it can handle modest competition, but those positives are undermined by damaging road losses at Utah and UC Santa Barbara and a lopsided defeat at Michigan State along with a neutral setback to Tulsa that expose serious vulnerability away from home. A home loss to UC Irvine further clouds the resume and leaves the committee looking for a definitive road or neutral signature to prove the program can beat good teams in hostile settings. The remaining slate includes a home date with Stanford plus league trips to New Mexico, Utah State and Boise State and home opportunities against Fresno State and UNLV, all of which represent the clearest paths to repair the resume if the Spartans can seize them.
