Projection: need to automatically qualify

Monmouth’s profile contains the kind of mixed signals that make a committee skeptical: it boasts a neutral-site win over Ball State and resume-strengthening road victories at Drexel and Northeastern that prove the team can win away from home, yet it is marred by damaging results such as nonconference road setbacks at La Salle, Seton Hall and Syracuse, a neutral loss to Le Moyne and a lopsided home defeat to Drexel that are hard to shrug off. Repeated setbacks to Hofstra and a lack of a signature win over a clearly top opponent leave the résumé short on pedigree, and close losses to higher-level teams only do so much when poorer results are scattered throughout the schedule. With solid road work balanced by ugly blemishes, the most reliable route into the field is an automatic conference berth where one hot week would erase the holes that otherwise keep Monmouth on the outside looking in.
