Projection: likely out

Maine’s resume is a study in contrasts that explains how a committee would view it. Road victories at Boston University and at NJIT show the team can win away from home and tight neutral-site games with Longwood and Siena plus competitive trips to Rutgers and Ohio suggest it can hang with better opponents, but blowout defeats at Washington and at Miami OH and an ugly home loss to Canisius along with a heavy setback at Drexel have done real damage to the profile. The remaining conference slate, which includes games with Vermont both at home and on the road and road trips to Bryant and UMBC plus home opportunities against New Hampshire, Albany, Binghamton and MA Lowell, gives Maine clear chances to rebuild by collecting road and neutral wins and avoiding more bad losses—precisely the things a committee rewards.
