Projection: need to automatically qualify

Brown’s resume reads like a team that has picked up a few respectable road wins at smaller programs and a blowout home victory over Holy Cross but has otherwise been beaten handily at several midmajor and power conference sites, with losses at Boston University and Stony Brook and nonconference setbacks at Providence and USC underscoring a lack of signature wins; the offense has struggled away from home while the defense has kept the team in games enough to notch wins at Maine and New Hampshire, yet those victories do little to offset the damage from the tougher losses. With the Ivy schedule still to come, the only realistic way for this profile to change enough to earn a bid is to win the league because home games against Princeton and Columbia and road tests at Yale and Harvard are the only remaining chances to produce the kind of quality wins that selection committees prize, while the remaining true road mismatches against Providence and USC are unlikely to help.
