Projection: need to automatically qualify

Drexel’s placement is logical because its résumé is a study in contrast: the team has earned rugged, resume-building wins over conference-level foes like Monmouth and William & Mary and a dominant defensive outing against Stony Brook that show it can grind out victories, but those positives are undermined by damaging losses such as the lopsided neutral-site defeat to Syracuse and road setbacks at Colgate and St. Joseph’s that reveal trouble against higher-tier opponents. Home blemishes versus La Salle and Howard and an awkward result against Penn further dilute any claim to a marquee nonconference triumph, and inconsistency away from home has left the team with a middling profile. The remaining slate features meaningful road tests at Campbell, Elon and Hofstra plus meetings with Stony Brook, Northeastern, Monmouth and Towson that offer clear opportunities to flip the narrative or else confirm the season-long volatility. Given the quality of the best wins, the severity of the worst losses, and the mix of upcoming chances, the committee would expect Drexel to need an automatic path unless it can land significant road victories down the stretch.
