Projection: need to automatically qualify
Central Conn's projection to need the automatic route is sensible because its profile is built around a handful of eye‑opening road victories at Boston College and Rutgers that demonstrate it can win away from home but those bright spots are offset by damaging defeats at Quinnipiac and Seton Hall and a baffling loss at Mercyhurst that the committee will treat as quad killers. The bulk of the season sits against conference opponents such as F Dickinson, Stonehill, Wagner, LIU Brooklyn, Chicago State, New Haven, Le Moyne, Mercyhurst, and St Francis PA where wins at hostile venues would improve the resume, yet until the team turns those opportunities into quality road or neutral wins and avoids more bad losses it will be viewed as a squad that needs to secure the conference title to grab an NCAA spot.
