Projection: likely out

Miami Ohio’s profile looks like a solid conference resume that still lacks the kind of marquee victories to thread a berth into the national field. The season’s best moments include a home win over Buffalo and road wins at Kent, Wright State and Toledo that show the RedHawks can win away from home, but those are offset by a nonconference slate featuring Old Dominion, Air Force and UNC Greensboro that produced no standout neutral-site scalps and by a defense that has allowed too many opponents to stay within reach. With regular-season chances remaining at Buffalo and at Marshall and conference opportunities against Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Ohio and Massachusetts the team can still add the road or neutral victories committees value, yet without at least one signature win the overall resume is likely to be viewed as falling short.
