Projection: first four out

Boise State’s resume reads like a collection of high-ceiling results mixed with a few damaging setbacks, headlined by a signature road victory at Butler and a neutral-site win over Saint Mary’s that prove the team can beat quality opponents away from home, while narrow neutral losses to USC and NC State show it can compete with top teams even when it comes up short. The program’s defense has steadied the ship and helped secure important league wins such as Wichita State and a home victory over New Mexico, but a heavy road loss at Nevada stands out as the kind of blemish a committee will penalize. With a stretch that includes a trip to San Diego State, home dates against conference contenders like Utah State and Nevada and a handful of winnable road opportunities, Boise State still has clear pathways to replace doubt with consistency or to leave the resume looking uneven.
