Projection: need to automatically qualify
Columbia's season shows a fragile resume, with a mix of wins and losses against teams ranging from weak to moderately ranked. While they secured impressive victories against Villanova and Loyola Maryland, their defensive struggles leave them vulnerable in critical matchups. Losing to SUNY Albany and facing tough opponents like Yale and Rutgers will test their resolve. Upcoming games against Cornell and Princeton will be pivotal; winning those could elevate their profile, while losses may jeopardize their chances of an at-large bid, underscoring the need for a strong finish to secure an automatic qualification.
