Projection: likely out

Wichita State's profile shows a team that can compete but still lacks a signature victory. Its best moments include a road win at Northern Iowa and a tight showing at Boise State, while its worst moments are neutral-site setbacks to Saint Mary's, Colorado State and Western Kentucky and a damaging home defeat to DePaul that undercuts the resume. Most of the wins have come against lesser opponents, so the remaining American Athletic slate matters a great deal; road dates at UAB, FL Atlantic, Tulsa, Memphis and UT San Antonio are clear opportunities to pick up résumé-boosting wins and home assignments against North Texas, Temple and a return game with Memphis are chances to right the ship. Conversely, a loss at South Florida or another slip to a lower-tier conference foe would deepen concerns. How Wichita State performs away from home and whether it can convert those upcoming opportunities into marquee results will decide whether the resume solidifies or continues to look thin at the top.
