Projection: likely out
UC San Diego’s résumé is built around eye-catching neutral wins over Temple, Bradley and Towson and an early true road victory at Fresno State that demonstrate the Tritons can beat respectable opponents away from home, but those moments are undercut by a damaging road loss at Nevada and a conference ledger heavy on home dates against lesser Big West foes. The remaining neutral matchup with Tulane and a string of true road tests at Loyola Marymount, UC Davis, UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara are the clear opportunities to turn promising nonconference flashes into sustained evidence of quality and until those tougher results arrive the committee will view the strong early wins as isolated rather than proof of consistent resume-building performance.
