Projection: likely out
Sam Houston St’s résumé features a signature road victory at Oregon State and helpful neutral-site wins over Idaho State and Idaho, but those positives are offset by road defeats at Texas Tech, Utah and Oklahoma State and a damaging loss at New Mexico State that leave the group short on quality, resume-changing victories. The selection committee will weigh that the best wins came against modest opponents while the worst losses occurred on the road against notable programs, so the overall strength of schedule looks uneven and the profile lacks a marquee neutral or true road triumph. The remaining slate provides clear chances to alter that picture with home tests against WKU and Middle Tennessee and road opportunities at Liberty and Delaware, yet further setbacks on the conference road swing would likely confirm the current assessment.
