Projection: likely out

Liberty’s résumé is built on a few strong home and neutral wins, including victories over Charleston and Florida Atlantic and a dominant outing against Coppin State, but a lopsided road loss at NC State and neutral-site setbacks to Towson and Bradley have undercut those moments. The bulk of the profile is wins over lesser conference and nonconference foes with scarce proof of success away from hostile environments, so the committee will view those results as limited evidence that the team can beat quality opponents away from home. Upcoming road tests at Dayton, Louisiana Tech, Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, New Mexico State and UTEP are the clearest opportunities to add meaningful résumé wins, while home dates against middling conference opponents are manageable but offer little lift. In short, the best moments show dominance over inferior competition, the worst expose vulnerability on the road, and the remaining schedule contains several clear chances to flip the narrative if the team can win away from its building.
