Projection: likely out

Colorado St’s résumé is anchored by eye-catching road and neutral-court moments that show a team capable of scoring in tough settings, notably neutral wins over Wichita St and South Florida and a true road victory at Loyola-Chicago plus a solid head-to-head result against Colorado, but those bright spots are blunted by damaging results such as the neutral loss to Virginia Tech and the setback against Denver that expose defensive inconsistency and a tendency to struggle in close games. The remaining slate features meaningful road tests at Utah State, Boise State and San Diego State as well as home chances against Nevada and New Mexico, so the Rams can still improve their standing by protecting the ball and tightening up on defense away from home, otherwise the résumé risks being defined more by unevenness than by its best wins.
