Projection: need to automatically qualify

UC Davis’s resume rests on a couple of clear peaks and a few troubling valleys, anchored by a road triumph at Nevada and solid home wins over North Dakota State and Cal State Sacramento that show the team can beat respectable foes, while a stout defensive identity has kept them competitive; those positives are undermined by a heavy loss at Colorado and poor results away from home in Portland and Hawaii that highlight offensive inconsistency and a vulnerability on the road. The remainder of the schedule hands them multiple chances to improve against league rivals, including rematches with UC Santa Barbara and a tricky trip to UC San Diego, so the way they handle those head-to-heads and shore up their road resume will decide whether their profile looks comfortably strong or still exposed.
