Projection: likely out

Nevada’s resume mixes solid, resume-building moments with damaging missteps that explain why its bracket case looks shaky; it boasts a marquee victory over Boise State, true road wins at Washington State and Colorado State, and a comfortable neutral-site triumph over San Francisco, but those highs are offset by an ugly road loss at Santa Clara, a hurtful neutral defeat to Washington and an unexpected setback to UC Davis that undercut its profile. Remaining conference tests, including a home date with UNLV and trips to Boise State and San Diego State along with matchups against Utah State and New Mexico, give Nevada clear pathways to salvage its standing, yet the combination of nonconference damage and uneven results away from home means the team will need those eye-catching road or neutral victories to reverse a resume that currently leans toward exclusion.
