Projection: likely out

South Florida’s résumé combines a few eye‑opening victories like the home win over Utah State and a neutral‑site triumph over WKU with several damaging results away from home and at neutral sites against opponents such as Alabama, Oklahoma State, Washington, VCU and Colorado State, and that balance is what defines how the committee will view the program. The blowouts over low‑major opposition do little to erase those road and neutral setbacks, so the Bulls still lack the kind of signature wins away from their own floor that change perceptions. A stretch of conference games against UAB, North Texas, Tulsa, Wichita State, Florida Atlantic, Tulane, Temple and Memphis gives clear opportunities to add meaningful victories, but until South Florida proves it can win on the road or at neutral venues against known quality opponents the disappointing losses will carry extra weight.
