Projection: likely out
Memphis's résumé is built around a signature home win over Baylor and a few strong neutral-site showings, but it is pulled down by damaging results away from home and a surprisingly uneven nonconference slate. The Tigers competed well on neutral floors against power-conference opponents yet could not close on the road at Mississippi and suffered a disappointing home loss to UNLV, leaving the body of work light on marquee road victories. Most of the remaining dates are against lesser opponents that will likely fill the win column without shifting perceptions, while true opportunities to change the narrative arrive with a road trip to Louisville and a tough trip to Utah State plus a big home date with Vanderbilt. The selection committee will focus on those remaining chances and the team's continued ability to win away from home when deciding how much weight to give the Baylor win and the early neutral-site efforts.
