Projection: likely out
William & Mary's resume is built on respectable road and neutral wins against mid-major opposition, highlighted by victories at Norfolk State and Bowling Green and neutral-site wins over UTEP and Abilene Christian, plus a solid home result against Old Dominion, but that foundation is noticeably weakened by the ugly trip to St John's and an error-prone road loss at Richmond that leave the profile short on high-end road victories. The quality of the best moments does not yet read like wins over proven power-conference opponents, so the committee will see a resume that is sturdy against the middle of the pack but thin on signature scalps, and that limits upward movement. The conference slate ahead gives clear chances to reshape impressions, with the road date at George Washington and the meetings with UNC Wilmington standing out as true opportunity games and trips to Charleston, Monmouth, and Drexel offering further tests, while home games against Hofstra, Elon, and Campbell will keep the win total ticking without dramatically altering perception. A meaningful result away from home or on a neutral floor against a recognized opponent is the obvious path to erase the damage from St John's and demonstrate the consistency the committee prizes.
