Projection: likely out

Nevada’s résumé has credible highlights — a road victory at Washington State and meaningful home wins over Boise State and Utah State — yet those flashes are undercut by damaging setbacks that selection committees value negatively. A neutral-site loss to Washington and tough defeats at Santa Clara and at San Jose State, along with losses at San Diego State and on the road at New Mexico, expose an inconsistency winning away from home and leave the team short on true signature wins away from its arena. The remaining stretch, with a home date against New Mexico, road trips to UNLV and Wyoming and a home game with Air Force, represents the clear opportunities to add the kind of resume-enhancing result that could change the evaluation or to pile on more damaging losses that would confirm the current outlook.
