Projection: likely out
TCU’s profile is anchored by eye-catching neutral-site wins over Florida and Wisconsin and by a defense that keeps them competitive in every game, but it is marred by an early upset loss to New Orleans and a missed chance against Michigan while a tight defeat to Notre Dame chips away at resume credibility. A true road victory at North Texas shows they can win away from home, yet the schedule still features high-leverage tests at Kansas and BYU along with marquee matchups against Arizona and Houston where strong performances would replace doubt with momentum. Those upcoming opportunities are the clearest path to erasing the blemishes; without signature wins in hostile or neutral settings the neutral-site triumphs will feel like bright spots on an otherwise inconsistent résumé.
