Projection: likely out

Arizona State’s résumé is built around a couple of eye-catching neutral-site wins over Texas and Washington State and a solid road triumph at Hawaii, but those highs are offset by damaging road drubbings at Houston and BYU and clear defeats at Arizona and UCLA that expose defensive inconsistency; the best victories came on neutral floors rather than in hostile conference settings, the nonconference slate lacked sustained depth, and the team has not shown reliable success away from home, so remaining league dates against Utah, Colorado and the likes of Kansas represent limited chances to replace profile-damaging losses with signature wins and that mix keeps the Sun Devils on the wrong side of the bubble.
