Projection: need to automatically qualify

Columbia's resume leaves it reliant on the Ivy League automatic bid because it lacks a body of signature road or neutral wins to offset damaging losses. The season's best moments, a gritty victory at Cornell and an impressive home win over Hofstra, are outweighed by lopsided defeats at Connecticut and California and by key setbacks against Ivy rivals that include losses at Yale and at Penn and a difficult home loss to Harvard. With no marquee wins away from Manhattan and the team struggling in league play, the realistic path to the NCAA tournament runs through capturing the conference title.
