Projection: need to automatically qualify

Navy’s profile hangs on a few worthwhile nonconference pieces and a string of concerning losses, which together explain its current standing. The neutral victory over Gardner Webb and an honest road trip to Presbyterian are the résumé’s bright spots, and competitive outings at Penn State and at North Carolina show the team can play with higher‑level opponents, but a heavy home defeat to Yale, an ugly road loss at UNC Wilmington and a neutral setback to Southeastern Louisiana are hard to overlook. With the Patriot League schedule still to come — highlighted by a home date and a road trip against Colgate and a tough road test at Bucknell — Navy has clear opportunities to replace bad results with resume‑building road or neutral wins, though if those chances aren’t seized the most reliable route to the NCAA field will be through the conference tournament.
