Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier)

Navy’s workmanlike resume is built on conference road wins at Bucknell and Boston University and solid league performances at Lehigh and Loyola Maryland, with a convincing neutral-site victory over Gardner‑Webb showing it can win away from home, but that backbone is offset by damaging nonconference setbacks at Yale, North Carolina and UNC Wilmington and a surprise neutral loss to Southeastern Louisiana that weaken any at-large narrative. Remaining opportunities against Colgate, including a tough trip and a home return, plus games at Lehigh, Army and Loyola Maryland give Navy clear chances to boost its profile before the postseason. Given the quality of those blemishes and the value committees place on road and neutral success, the cleanest path to the NCAA field is to secure the Patriot League’s automatic berth.
