Projection: likely out

Colorado State’s profile reads like a team with bright flashes but too many damaging road nights, and that balance explains the projection: its best moments come from neutral-site upsets of Wichita State and South Florida and a big rivalry victory over Colorado that show the ceiling, while ugly road defeats at Utah State and San Diego State and a string of conference road losses reveal a clear vulnerability away from home. The nonconference slate is littered with dominant wins over low-major opponents that do little to offset those bad losses, and defensive inconsistency has amplified the damage. With remaining home dates against Fresno State and Boise State and difficult road tests at New Mexico and San Diego State there is still room to strengthen the résumé, but unless the Rams erase the poor road tape and add a true signature victory the committee will remain cautious.
