Projection: likely out

SF Austin’s resume rests on conference dominance and a stingy defense, with authoritative home wins and road victories at New Orleans and Lamar that show it can travel. Its best nonconference moment was a tight road game at Fresno State that ended in a narrow loss and that result stands in for a missing signature victory over a respected opponent. The most damaging results are road setbacks at UT Arlington and an earlier loss at McNeese State that even a later home win over that same opponent cannot entirely erase. Upcoming trips to Houston Christian and Incarnate Word and a home date with New Orleans are winnable chances to pad the ledger but in the absence of a true marquee scalp the profile reads like a strong conference team that lacks the quality wins needed for at-large consideration.
