Projection: need to automatically qualify
Dartmouth’s résumé is built around a couple of standout moments and some damaging nonconference slips, and that contrast is what drives the projection. The team’s most persuasive wins came in a decisive neutral-site victory at St. Peter’s and a narrow home win over New Hampshire, but those highlights are offset by poor nonconference results to Marist, a road loss at Bryant and a defeat at Appalachian State that weaken the body of work. The selection committee will weight road and neutral success heavily, so upcoming high-profile road tests at Wyoming, Colorado State and Florida are the primary opportunities to add a marquee win, while the Ivy slate — trips to Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Cornell plus home games against Harvard, Yale, Brown, Penn and Princeton — gives Dartmouth multiple chances to rebuild momentum. Until those opportunities are seized, the résumé remains defined by the gap between those two clean wins and the midseason setbacks.
