Projection: need to automatically qualify

UC Davis projects as an automatic qualifier because its résumé features decisive wins away from home and quality head-to-head victories inside the Big West that demonstrate the team can win on the road and close out tense conference games. The signature road victory at Nevada and hard-fought wins over UC Santa Barbara, including a road win and a home victory in Davis, anchor the case, while the roughest results, namely blowout losses at Oregon and at Colorado and costly road defeats at UC San Diego and at CS Northridge, threaten to sap the committee’s confidence. With a home date against Hawaii and road trips to Long Beach State and UC Irvine remaining, the Aggies can cement their standing with a strong finish or erode it further with more poor results.
