Projection: likely out

UCF's resume presents a mixed bag, highlighted by notable wins like their victory over Texas A&M and a solid performance against Texas Tech, but weighed down by significant losses, especially a staggering defeat against Kansas and close games against higher-ranked opponents like Houston and Arizona. Their inconsistent offensive output—ranking significantly higher at times—contrasts sharply with a defense that has struggled, particularly against potent offenses. Upcoming games, like their match against Baylor and a challenging stretch featuring Iowa State and Kansas State, will be crucial; they need to capture wins in these matchups to solidify their tournament hopes. Conversely, continuing to lose against lower-ranked teams could further diminish their chances.
