Projection: need to automatically qualify

Fordham’s résumé reads like a team that has collected a handful of safe nonconference wins — including victories over Wagner and LIU Brooklyn and a neutral-site triumph over SUNY Albany — but has been set back by damaging defeats at NJIT, at Iona and by narrow losses to Colgate and Holy Cross that erased any nonconference momentum. The committee will focus on the absence of a quality road or neutral victory and the slim margin for error in Atlantic Ten play because upcoming trips to Dayton, Saint Louis, VCU and George Washington are the clearest chances to add a resume-changing win yet all appear difficult, while home dates with Loyola-Chicago, La Salle and Manhattan are more likely to pad the ledger without altering perception. Until Fordham turns any of those tough road tests into a headline result, its profile will remain defined by a soft nonconference slate, a string of costly losses and limited signature victories.
