Projection: need to automatically qualify

Dartmouth’s resume is defined by a few impressive road wins, most notably at St Peter’s and in tough outings at Harvard and Cornell, but those bright spots are offset by damaging, lopsided road defeats at Florida, Wyoming and Colorado State and key losses within the Ivy including setbacks to Yale and a home loss to Harvard, so the committee will see more bad results than marquee victories. The team’s willingness to play difficult nonconference road games is a plus but the heavy losses on those trips blunt any at-large argument, and while home wins over midlevel nonconference foes show competence they do not erase the bad losses. With road tests at Columbia, Penn and Princeton and home chances against Brown and Cornell still available, Dartmouth can improve its profile inside the league, but absent a string of eye-catching road wins the cleanest path to the tournament runs through capturing the Ivy’s automatic bid.
