Projection: need to automatically qualify

Navy’s profile is built more on volume of wins over weak opposition than on signature victories, and that balance explains where it stands. The high point is a dominant neutral-site win and comfortable nonconference victories over teams like NJIT and Coppin State, but those results don’t erase the damage from routs and bad losses at places such as Yale and UNC Wilmington and a nonconference setback on a neutral floor to SE Louisiana. Road duty has been a problem when Navy left familiar surroundings, with trips to Penn State and North Carolina yielding losses rather than resume builders, so the committee will look at how the Midshipmen perform away from home. The Patriot League slate ahead offers multiple chances to change the narrative, most notably a road date at Colgate and a run of league opponents at home where quality road or neutral wins would matter most.
