Projection: likely out
Miami’s résumé shows the right elements for a mid-major with road wins at Wright State, Ball State and Toledo, a neutral-site victory over UNC Greensboro and a big home win over Buffalo, but the nonconference slate included many weak opponents so the profile lacks a truly marquee scalp beyond Akron. There are no damaging defeats to drag them down, yet defensive inconsistency and the softness of several wins keep the committee from treating them as a secure at-large. Upcoming tests on the road at Kent, a return trip to Buffalo and league road dates at Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan are clear chances to add the kind of resume-building victories away from home that would move Miami from a solid candidate to an unquestioned tournament team.
