Projection: likely out
Nevada’s season reads like a true resume in progress, with the road victory at Washington State and the neutral win over San Francisco standing out as the kind of results committees value, while a lopsided neutral loss to Washington and disappointing defeats at Santa Clara and to UC Davis create real blemishes. Nonconference wins over midmajor foes show the Pack can close games but the inconsistency on the road and in neutral settings keeps the profile from looking clean. The rest of the slate offers a mix of home opportunities to pad the ledger and difficult true road tests at Utah State, San Diego State, Boise State and New Mexico that could either supply a signature win or deepen the concerns. Overall the team has earned some respect from its best moments but remains vulnerable because of its worst results and the upcoming stretch will determine whether that respect holds.
