Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cornell's resume shows some potential, particularly with solid offensive performances against weaker opponents, highlighted by their high-scoring wins against Samford and Army. However, the team's struggles on defense have hindered their ability to compete against stronger teams, as seen in their losses to Syracuse and Yale, where they allowed significant point totals. Moreover, inconsistent performances against fellow Ivy League teams like the close losses to Brown and Dartmouth raise concerns about their ability to secure enough quality wins. To improve their standing, they must dominate in their upcoming games, especially against Columbia and the Ivy League tournament, where they will need to win to secure an automatic bid, given their lack of a significant overall resume.
