Projection: need to automatically qualify
Northeastern's résumé is built on a handful of résumé-saving results but undermined by a string of damaging setbacks. Road victories at Colgate and Harvard and the neutral win over Duquesne show the team can win away from home while the close loss to Boston University and the home defeat to Vermont are blemishes that selection committees will notice. Losses at Princeton, Holy Cross and at Wake Forest underscore inconsistency and make each remaining game feel like it carries extra weight. Upcoming road dates at Syracuse and Rhode Island are clear chances to change the narrative and the conference slate mixes favorable home opportunities with tricky trips to Hofstra and William and Mary that will determine whether the profile improves or slides. The path forward is straightforward: add a few more quality road or neutral wins and avoid any further surprisingly poor results to finish with a much stronger résumé.
