Projection: need to automatically qualify

Army’s résumé reads like a season of missed chances: its few bright spots are a nonconference victory at F Dickinson and a win over Manhattan, but those come against opponents that do little to offset a run of bruising defeats including a lopsided loss at Duke and road setbacks at St Thomas, Cornell, and Marist, plus a home defeat against George Washington that undercuts any claim to marquee scalps. The schedule has not helped with neutral and true road success in short supply, so the committee will judge this group more on how it fares away from West Point than on its home results. The remaining slate hands Army clear opportunities to change the narrative with road tests at Lehigh and at Colgate and several league games against Boston University, Lafayette, Bucknell, Holy Cross, Loyola Maryland and Navy, and wins in those environments would materially improve the profile. As it stands the balance of weak top-end wins and damaging losses makes the conference slate the place where this season’s fate will be decided.
