Projection: likely out

Northern Arizona’s résumé is defined by a handful of solid home victories and a competitive neutral outing against Drake, but it has been undermined by several bruising road defeats at Arizona and Arizona State, a heavy loss at Incarnate Word and setbacks in Missoula and Bozeman. The best moments — home wins over Cal Poly, SE Missouri State and Southern Utah and a tight game at North Dakota State — show the team can execute at home and still compete away, yet the lack of a true road or neutral signature victory leaves the profile thin. Upcoming conference tests at home against Montana and Northern Colorado, meetings with CS Sacramento and trips to Portland State, Weber State and Montana State present clear chances to add resume-enhancing wins or to further expose the team’s vulnerability away from home.
