Projection: need to automatically qualify

Colgate's résumé argues for needing the automatic berth because the season features clear offensive highs and a string of conference wins against the likes of Bucknell and Loyola Maryland and neutral-court victories such as Fordham and SUNY Albany, but it is missing a marquee nonconference scalp and carries damaging road losses at Michigan State, Illinois and Florida along with troubling setbacks at Boston University and Cornell that the committee will notice. The team has shown it can put up points but has also surrendered big outings away from home and in major venues which weakens any at-large case. With a winnable home date against Lafayette and a season-closing trip to Navy still on the schedule there is room to improve before the Patriot League tournament, yet the surest route into the field runs through winning the conference title.
