Projection: likely out

TCU’s résumé is built on a stingy defense and a pair of high-profile neutral wins over Florida and Wisconsin, plus a road victory at North Texas, but it’s kept in check by a puzzling early loss to New Orleans and tight defeats to Michigan and Notre Dame that underline an uneven offense. The Horned Frogs have looked dominant against lesser foes yet have too few signature wins away from their home court, so the remaining slate — a home date with Baylor, trips to Kansas and BYU, and a tough nonconference test against Arizona among other league challenges — will be where they either convert defensive steadiness into marquee victories or accumulate more damaging losses that a committee will weigh heavily.
