Projection: likely out

Boise State sits outside the comfortable tournament picture because its résumé mixes high-end wins with glaring setbacks. Signature victories such as the neutral-site defeat of St. Mary's, a road triumph at Butler and the home win over San Diego State show the Broncos can deliver when it matters away from a friendly gym. Those moments are undercut by damaging results that will stick with a committee, led by a heavy defeat to Utah State, repeated setbacks at Grand Canyon and an earlier blowout at San Diego State plus uneven results on the road in league play. The trip to Colorado State is the remaining chance to salvage the profile with a meaningful road victory and without that finish the résumé reads like a capable team burdened by too many ugly losses to present a comfortable case for an NCAA bid.
