Projection: need to automatically qualify

Maine’s resume reads like a team that has been hurt more than helped by its early slate, with damaging road defeats at George Washington, Stony Brook, Rutgers and Ohio contrasting with its few competitive flashes in neutral games against Longwood and Siena and close home outings versus Quinnipiac and Brown. Those results leave the profile short on a signature victory and reveal offensive struggles away from its building even as the defense can hold up at times, so the rest of the schedule — road tests at Drexel, UMBC and Vermont and home opportunities against Canisius, Bryant and New Hampshire — is the practical path to repair; road or neutral wins would blunt the sting of the early losses and offer the committee clear evidence of growth while failing to take those chances will leave the season defined by too many damaging away results.
