Projection: likely out

Nevada projects out because its resume mixes a few eye‑catching victories with a string of damaging setbacks and too little signature success away from home. The profile’s best moments — the road result at Washington State, the road result at Colorado State, the home win over Boise State and the neutral-site success against San Francisco — show the team can climb the ladder, but those highlights are swamped by heavy losses at Santa Clara and at neutral Washington, by setbacks to San Diego State both home and on the road, and by poor showings at San Jose State and UNLV that erase the value of those better results. With limited remaining opportunities on the profile to add a marquee road or neutral victory the committee will see a body of work weighted toward middling wins and punctuated by damaging defeats, which explains why Nevada is projected to miss the field.
