Projection: need to automatically qualify

Navy’s résumé points squarely toward needing the Patriot League’s automatic berth because its resume highlights comfortable wins over low-major and league foes but lacks any signature victory against a quality opponent, while a damaging home loss to Yale and tough trips to Penn State and North Carolina along with heavy defeats at UNC Wilmington and the SE Louisiana game have exposed limits away from their own gym; the team has shown it can win on the road in league settings and beat midlevel opponents at neutral sites, yet the remaining slate puts a premium on grabbing a resume-changing road result at Colgate and protecting home dates against Army and league rivals before the conference tournament, so with damaging nonconference setbacks and no marquee scalps the most realistic path to the NCAA field runs through winning the Patriot League.
