Projection: need to automatically qualify

UTRGV’s profile lives and dies with a road win at Southern Utah that proves it can win away from home but is weighed down by lopsided road defeats at Baylor, Boise State and Illinois and an ugly loss at Stephen F. Austin. A solid, competitive outing at Missouri State showed the roster can compete against better teams but the nonconference slate produced no signature victory to erase those damaging losses. The league schedule ahead contains clear chances to reshape the resume with offensively friendly home dates against Austin Peay and UT Arlington and resume-making road tests at McNeese State, Incarnate Word and New Orleans where committee voters prize true road or neutral wins. Keeping losses clean and delivering one or two quality away results is the only path that meaningfully changes how the resume will be judged.
