Projection: next four out
Arizona State’s résumé is anchored by some strong road and neutral-site results. A marquee neutral win over Texas and neutral victories over Washington State and Oklahoma show this team can beat quality opponents away from home and a road victory at Hawaii reinforces that capacity. Those high points are offset by damaging defeats, most notably the home loss to Gonzaga and the neutral-site setback to USC, which diminish the return from comfortable non-conference wins over Southern Utah, Utah Tech, Georgia State and Northern Arizona. The remaining league slate mixes manageable home dates like Oregon State and Colorado with brutal road assignments at UCLA, BYU, Houston and Iowa State. Strong performances in those road and neutral games and a statement home victory against Arizona would markedly improve the résumé while middling outcomes will leave it precarious.
