Projection: need to automatically qualify

Harvard projects as a team that will need the Ivy automatic bid because its nonconference résumé offers few signature victories while damaging road defeats at St. John's and Boston College and a heavy loss to Northeastern blunt any at-large case. The Crimson's best moments have come in league play with road wins at Colgate and Columbia and head-to-head wins over Princeton and Penn, and a narrow neutral loss to Boston University showed they can hang with quality opponents even if they did not land a marquee nonconference scalp. With a run of Ivy road tests at Yale, Princeton and Penn and home chances against Cornell and Columbia still to come, Harvard's season will be decided by how it finishes the conference slate and whether it can claim the automatic berth.
