Projection: likely out

South Florida’s résumé has a few eye-catching moments and several blemishes that explain its precarious standing: a road win at Utah State and a neutral-site victory over WKU show the team can reach a high level and road wins at Tulsa and North Texas speak to its ability to win away from home, but those flashes are offset by neutral losses to VCU and Colorado State, an uncomfortable trip to Oklahoma State and a damaging home defeat to UAB that sap resume strength. Close losses to Wichita State and a competitive outing at Alabama keep the profile from being hopeless, yet the scarcity of multiple quality victories and the presence of avoidable defeats leave little margin for error. Upcoming league road tests at UAB, Tulane and Temple along with home chances against Memphis, FAU and Tulsa are the clear opportunities to repair the résumé or confirm the current doubts.
