Projection: need to automatically qualify

Brown’s résumé is defined by solid conference wins and damaging nonconference failures. Its best moments came in road victories at Maine and New Hampshire and a convincing win over Holy Cross, while its worst moments include a heavy loss to Siena and road setbacks at Boston University and Rhode Island that undercut any claim to quality wins away from campus. The nonconference slate offered few chances to establish a signature victory and Brown has yet to show consistent success on the road against stronger opponents, so the remainder of the schedule, including true road trips to Providence and USC, Ivy road tests at Yale and Harvard and important home dates against Columbia, Cornell, Princeton and Penn, are final opportunities to reshape the résumé. A strong showing in those games would remove most doubts while another damaging away loss or ugly conference result would leave the profile short.
