Projection: likely out

Sam Houston’s resume flashes enough quality to get the committee’s attention — a road victory at Oregon State and solid home and neutral wins over Wyoming, Idaho State and Idaho show they can beat good opponents away from home — but those moments are outweighed by damaging losses at major-conference sites such as Texas Tech, Utah and Oklahoma State and by setbacks to league rivals New Mexico State, Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee State that undercut consistency. A home loss to Liberty further weakens their claim, and the profile lacks a true marquee neutral-site win while road success against quality opponents is limited. With a run of conference games ahead against familiar foes including Western Kentucky, Missouri State, Louisiana Tech, UTEP and a trip to Liberty, Sam Houston has clear chances to repair the résumé but must avoid more harmful road defeats to move off the fringe.
