Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)

Colgate’s resume is defined by a few resume-boosting results offset by a string of damaging losses to major-conference opponents. The best moments — a road victory at Siena, neutral-site wins over Albany and Fordham and the nonconference win over Drexel — show the team can win away from home and in neutral settings. The worst moments — road defeats at Michigan State, Illinois and Florida plus setbacks at St. Bonaventure and Cornell — highlight how vulnerable the team has been against upper-tier competition. The remaining conference slate and the conference tournament provide clear chances to add meaningful road wins at places like Lafayette, Army, Loyola Maryland and Bucknell and to pick up a marquee home win against Harvard, any of which would materially strengthen the resume.
