Projection: likely out

UNLV looks like an outsider because its profile is built of a few impressive road triumphs and too many damaging setbacks; the Rebels’ best moments came away from home in wins at Stanford, Memphis, Boise State and Utah State and they also collected solid home victories over Grand Canyon and San Jose State, but those highlights are overwhelmed by neutral site drubbings to Alabama and Maryland, home losses to New Mexico and San Diego State, ugly road defeats at Wyoming and Colorado State and puzzling nonconference losses to Tennessee Martin, Montana and Tennessee State, and with the regular season essentially done there is very little runway left to erase those bad results and add a signature, resume-changing win.
