Projection: likely out

George Washington’s résumé has a clear split: a signature neutral win over South Florida and a string of nonconference victories that highlighted the roster’s offensive upside, but those positives are undermined by ugly neutral losses to McNeese State and Murray State that exposed defensive inconsistency. The Colonials have shown they can win on the road at places like Army, yet they lack a true road or neutral signature over a high-major opponent, which matters because looming tests at Richmond, Dayton, St. Louis and VCU and a neutral showdown with Florida are the prime opportunities to change the committee’s perception. The Atlantic 10 slate includes favorable home dates against La Salle, Loyola-Chicago and Fordham that can pad the ledger, but without a breakthrough away from home and with the damaging neutral losses still on the resume, the overall profile reads vulnerable rather than secure.
