Projection: likely out

Grand Canyon looks like an outsider because its résumé is bookended by a few eye-catching moments—a neutral win over Utah, road wins at Boise State and Fresno State, and a tough home victory over Utah State and San Diego State—while a string of damaging losses at St. Louis, at Iowa, at New Mexico and nonconference setbacks to Oklahoma State and Colorado State have undercut those positives. Most of the meaningful success has come at home or against lesser opposition so the team still needs a marquee road or neutral win, and upcoming chances at Nevada, a return trip to Boise State, road tests at UNLV and Utah State and another meeting with San Diego State are the clearest paths to change its standing while avoiding another bad loss.
