Projection: likely out

Arizona State's resume is a study in extremes with headline neutral wins such as the upset of Texas and strong showings against Washington State and Santa Clara paired with a handful of damaging defeats on the road at BYU, Houston, UCLA and Arizona and disappointing home setbacks to Oregon State and Colorado that have undercut the body of work. The good results prove the team can rise to the occasion away from campus and at neutral sites, while the bad ones expose an inability to close out games in hostile environments and a vulnerability to getting run off the court. With high-profile home dates looming, including another chance at Arizona and important games against conference rivals, plus a stretch of difficult road tests at Utah, Baylor, TCU and Iowa State, the remaining schedule gives Arizona State clear opportunities to flip the narrative or to confirm the committee’s concerns, so its postseason fate will hinge on turning those occasional marquee wins into consistent road and neutral success and avoiding any more resume-damaging losses.
