Projection: need to automatically qualify

UTEP’s résumé is shaped more by damaging early nonconference setbacks than by resume-building victories, with road losses at Utah State and Seattle and neutral-site defeats to William & Mary and UAB leaving few marquee wins to show the committee. The rest of the schedule presents clear chances to repair that ledger, with league dates at home against Florida International, Missouri State, Louisiana Tech and Delaware and important road tests at Liberty, MTSU and WKU where road or neutral wins would dramatically change the narrative. Until those signature moments arrive or the Miners make a statement in the conference tournament, their profile will be judged by those early missteps and a lack of quality wins away from home.
