Projection: likely out

Colorado State looks like an outsider because its signature work is thin despite a few bright spots such as neutral-site wins over Wichita State and South Florida and a late neutral victory over Fresno State, while those highlights are undone by damaging road defeats at Utah State and San Diego State and an earlier neutral setback to Virginia Tech that points to inconsistency against better opponents. A home victory over Colorado and an important road win at New Mexico help the case but are offset by losses away at Boise State and Fresno State and a lopsided loss at Utah State that raises questions about the defense away from home. With a nonconference slate that leaned light and limited chances left to produce a marquee road or neutral win, the resume lacks the kind of quality wins and clean away results the committee prizes.
