Projection: need to automatically qualify

St Peter’s profile explains the automatic qualifier projection because its season features respectable midmajor wins and a few telling road victories but lacks any signature nonconference scalps while carrying several damaging losses to Power Conference opponents and an embarrassing blowout to Dartmouth that selection committees will not forget. The team has shown the ability to win away from home in places like Quinnipiac and Fairfield and it has handled conference foes such as Iona, Marist, and Rider when steady, yet those positive results sit alongside losses at Seton Hall, VCU, and Georgetown that expose a gap versus top competition. The remaining MAAC slate gives clear chances to stitch together a résumé worth of value with winnable home games and manageable road tests, but a slip at Merrimack or Iona would leave the body of work short of the kind of headline win that carries an at-large case. In short, the best moments demonstrate competence in the league while the worst moments and the absence of a marquee nonconference victory make winning the conference title the most realistic path to the national field.
