Projection: likely out

Nevada’s resume has clear peaks, like the road win at Washington State, the home victory over Boise State and the neutral-site triumph against San Francisco, which show the team can win away from home and handle hostile settings. Those moments are undercut by damaging setbacks that a committee will notice, namely the road blowout at Santa Clara, the loss at San Jose State, the home setback to UC Davis and neutral defeats to Washington and Utah State that leave the finish of the season unimpressive. The Wolf Pack have collected some quality road and neutral wins but the soft losses and inconsistency against the upper tier of the league, highlighted by results against San Diego State, make it hard to feel confident about inclusion, so only a strong conference-tournament run that produces signature neutral-site victories will materially change the picture.
