Projection: need to automatically qualify
Lehigh's current situation is challenging, with multiple losses to teams ranked significantly higher, like Northwestern and UCLA, which severely damage their overall credibility. Their efforts against teams in the bottom half of the rankings, such as the narrow victories over St. Francis PA and Bucknell, are concerning, highlighting a lack of consistent performance. While upcoming games against fellow Patriot League opponents present opportunities, victories in those matchups must be decisive to bolster their resume. Games against Army and Navy, who are near the bottom of their respective standings, should be must-wins to build momentum, but even a few narrow scrapes against less formidable foes won't be enough without a signature win to bolster their case for an at-large bid. Ultimately, the path forward demands not just wins, but impressive ones, to help elevate their standing in a largely unconvincing season thus far.
