Projection: need to automatically qualify

The neutral-site win over Princeton stands out as Vermont’s signature moment but it is outweighed by ugly neutral losses to Liberty and Rhode Island and a one-sided trip to Oregon State, and the resume is further dented by road setbacks at Buffalo and on-campus surprises at UMBC and NJIT; most of the resume-building results come against familiar America East foes at home, including wins over Bryant, New Hampshire and Maine, and the team has only a handful of true road or neutral quality victories beyond the Princeton feel-good, so the committee will see a club that dominates its league but lacks the sustained nonconference résumé to earn an at-large bid and therefore must secure the conference’s automatic berth to punch its ticket.
