Projection: need to automatically qualify

Brown’s season is built around a few useful wins on the road at Maine and New Hampshire and comfortable home victories over Bryant and Holy Cross that prove it can finish games against modest opponents, but that resume is weighed down by lopsided losses to teams like Siena, Vermont, Boston University and by defeats to Providence, Rhode Island and Yale that expose a lack of signature wins and vulnerability against top competition. The positives are that Brown has shown it can win away from home and put together disciplined performances, and a stretch of Ivy League games—including road tests at Princeton, Yale and Harvard and home dates against Penn, Columbia and Cornell—gives the team clear opportunities to add meaningful victories or to compound the damage of earlier bad losses. The committee will be watching the quality of any road or neutral wins and whether Brown can avoid further bad slips; success in those specific Ivy League spots would change the narrative, while more losses to stronger opponents will keep the resume on the wrong side of the cut line.
