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. Maryโ€™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 โ€” a home meeting with Gonzaga and road trips to San Diego and Pacific โ€” 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.
