Projection: likely out
Grand Canyon’s resume is anchored by true road victories and a neutral-site win that prove it can beat respectable Mountain West competition away from home, but those peaks are diluted by nonconference setbacks at St. Louis and against power-conference opponents and by a handful of bad losses in league play that expose offensive inconsistency. The defense has forced enough stops in signature wins to make the committee take notice, yet the inability to score against higher-end foes and a couple of home losses to familiar conference rivals keep the resume from feeling secure. There are clear opportunities left to change the narrative with a trip to San Diego State and a visit to Utah State offering meaningful resume juice, while home games with Wyoming and UNLV and a favorable road swing to Air Force and Fresno State provide chances to pad the win column and avoid the kind of damaging results that would cement a stay on the wrong side of the bubble.
