Projection: need to automatically qualify

Dartmouth’s résumé is anchored by a handful of believable wins — most notably an on-the-road victory at St. Peter’s and road success at Holy Cross along with home wins over Boston University and New Hampshire — that demonstrate the team can close games away from home. Those bright spots are offset by damaging defeats at Wyoming and Colorado State and nonconference setbacks to Marist, Bryant, Appalachian State and Sacred Heart that will be hard for the committee to overlook. The remaining Ivy League slate, with road trips to Harvard, Cornell, Yale, Brown and Columbia and key home dates against league rivals, represents the clear opportunity to repair the résumé. The selection body will prioritize meaningful road and neutral-site wins and the avoidance of further bad losses, so Dartmouth’s path forward is straightforward: string together quality results in league play and the picture improves.
