Projection: likely out

Wyoming’s profile is anchored by a gutsy road showing at Texas Tech that proves this team can compete away from home, but most of its victories come against low-end nonconference opponents such as CS Fullerton, Austin Peay, Dartmouth and Denver, leaving a shortage of marquee wins. Harmful results — the road loss at Sam Houston State and the home defeat to Grand Canyon — have exposed inconsistency and softened the resume. The Mountain West stretch still presents meaningful chances to change the narrative with road tests at New Mexico, San Diego State and Utah State and impactful home dates against UNLV, Boise State and Fresno State, so a run of road or neutral victories in those spots would significantly improve how a selection committee views Wyoming, but until those quality wins arrive the team’s profile is defined more by a weak nonconference slate and damaging losses than by signature successes.
