Projection: likely out
Colorado’s profile reads like a résumé with a couple of headline wins but too many damaging slips to feel comfortable, because the neutral-site victory over Washington and the road win at Arizona State stand out as the team’s best claims while the ledger is dragged down by ugly road blowouts at Texas Tech and Houston and bad home setbacks such as the loss to UCF. In-conference play produced hard-fought wins over the likes of Providence, Kansas State and TCU but those are offset by a string of losses away to power-conference opponents and trouble finishing on neutral floors, so the committee will see a roster that hasn’t delivered sustained, quality wins away from its own gym. With the season moving toward its conclusion there is limited room to add a marquee victory and right now the combination of a thin top tier of wins, several damaging defeats and inconsistent road results makes it difficult to justify a tournament bid.
