Projection: need to automatically qualify

UNLV’s résumé has a couple of genuine road punches, wins at Memphis and Stanford, and a solid victory over Boise State, but those highs are overwhelmed by a string of damaging results. Neutral-site losses to Maryland, Alabama and Rutgers along with an upset to Tennessee State and a setback at Montana sapped the nonconference ledger. Conference play has been uneven with heavy defeats at Wyoming and Colorado State and home losses to San Diego State and New Mexico that further erode the profile. The remainder of the schedule offers a mix of winnable home dates and must-win road tests at Nevada, Boise State and San Diego State plus easier assignments like San Jose State, Grand Canyon and Air Force. Without a sustained closing run that includes multiple wins away from home, UNLV sits on the wrong side of the bubble.
