Projection: need to automatically qualify

UC Santa Barbara's performance this season has shown promising potential but also significant weaknesses, particularly against higher-ranked opponents. The team encountered tough losses against UC Irvine and UC San Diego, both of which highlighted struggles in high-pressure situations and against more competitive teams. Despite solid victories over Fresno State and Hawaii, the narrow win against Cal Poly and inconsistent efforts against teams like UC Davis and CS Northridge raise concerns about their overall consistency. Their chances for improvement hinge on upcoming matchups, especially against UC Irvine and UC Davis, where capturing wins could bolster their standings and strengthen their case for an automatic qualifier.
