Projection: likely out

Miami’s résumé is built on a convincing neutral win over UNC Greensboro, a road victory at Air Force and a home statement against Old Dominion, showing the offense can click in different settings. Those highlights are tempered by an absence of marquee league scalps and by defensive inconsistency, which makes upcoming road tests at Wright State, Toledo and Kent and a home date with Akron especially consequential. The remaining slate, with trips to Bowling Green and Buffalo and home chances against Central Michigan and Ohio, gives Miami clear opportunities to add a quality road win and shore up its defense. Until those results come through, the profile reads like a team with solid nonconference moments but without the top-level conference victories that change how résumés are judged.
