Projection: likely out
South Florida has flashes that matter, highlighted by a home victory over Utah State and a neutral-site win over Western Kentucky that show the team can beat quality opponents, but those moments are undercut by damaging losses on the road at Oklahoma State and on neutral floors against VCU, Colorado State and Washington which expose inconsistency away from home. Many early wins came against low-level opposition and will carry limited weight for a committee. Sustained success in conference play is necessary and upcoming home dates against UMBC, UT San Antonio and Charlotte should be converted while the road trip to Alabama represents the clearest opportunity to vault the résumé if it can be pulled off. Road and neutral struggles have been the biggest drag so far and results in matchups with UAB, Memphis, Wichita State and Florida Atlantic will determine whether this profile moves upward or remains stuck in limbo.
