Projection: likely out

UTRGV sits on the outside because its résumé is defined more by damaging road defeats at Baylor, Boise State, Illinois and Missouri State and by an inability to solve conference leader SF Austin than by its solid wins over league peers. The high points are gritty road victories at New Orleans and Nicholls State and a home triumph over McNeese State that show the team can win in hostile environments. Those results are offset by heavy nonconference setbacks and uneven performance away from home, and without a signature scalp or a strong late run the committee will view UTRGV as a respectable conference side that lacks the high-end résumé to earn an at-large invite.
