Projection: need to automatically qualify

UT San Antonio’s profile hinges on a lone meaningful road victory at Denver and a neutral-site win over Georgia Southern as its best moments, while a string of lopsided defeats on the road at Alabama, Colorado, USC and FAU plus heavy conference setbacks to Memphis, Tulane and South Alabama have done serious damage. Most of the resume lacks quality wins and the bad road results undercut any case for an at-large berth. The remaining slate gives a handful of opportunities to repair the picture, but the more winnable games are split between tough road dates at South Florida, North Texas and Tulsa and home chances against Rice, Wichita State and two meetings with East Carolina, so there are limited pathways to significantly improve without a deep run. Given the paucity of signature victories, the frequency of ugly losses away from home and the modest upside of the remaining schedule, the only reliable route to the NCAA field for this team is to secure the conference’s automatic bid.
