Projection: likely out

Utah Valley’s résumé makes sense because it pairs high-impact neutral-site victories over UC Santa Barbara and South Dakota State and a dominant neutral win over Samford with clear blemishes away from home, most notably a lopsided loss at Boise State and a road defeat at San Diego State that the committee will remember. A narrow defeat at Fresno State and road wins at Utah Tech and Tarleton State show the team can compete away from home, while a split with Abilene Christian and mixed results against Southern Utah and Tarleton State reveal inconsistencies within the league. Repeated wins over Cal Baptist and UT Arlington demonstrate the ability to close out the regular season but the upcoming home game against Cal Baptist represents the last tangible chance to turn a shaky road résumé into an unmistakably strong one for the committee.
