Projection: need to automatically qualify

William & Mary’s profile is shaped by quality neutral-site wins and a handful of true road victories balanced against a few damaging trips, so the committee would see both upside and vulnerability. The resume is bolstered by neutral wins over UTEP and Abilene Christian and road victories at Bowling Green, Duquesne and Norfolk State that prove the team can win away from Williamsburg. Those positives are offset by the lopsided showing at St. John’s and losses at Richmond and George Washington, results that hurt because they came on the road against stronger opponents. The conference slate still hands the program clear opportunities to improve with home dates against Radford, Towson and Stony Brook and a tough road stretch at College of Charleston, Monmouth and UNC Wilmington that will reveal whether the team can add the kind of road victories the committee prizes. Overall the résumé reads as a mix of solid road and neutral success plus a damaging marquee loss and a nonconference body of work missing a signature high‑major win, leaving the onus on conference play to finish the case.
