Projection: need to automatically qualify
Princeton has shown potential this season with competitive wins, notably against Rutgers, which enhances their resume, but the overall inconsistency raises concerns. Losses to teams like Loyola-Chicago and Wright State highlight vulnerabilities, particularly on defense, where their ranking doesn't inspire confidence. They still have opportunities to boost their standing against conference rivals, especially if they can claim victories against teams like Yale and Cornell, which are vital matchups that could enhance their chances for an automatic bid. However, slip-ups against lower-ranked teams, such as Harvard and Dartmouth, could jeopardize their chances significantly.
