Projection: likely out

Boise State sits outside because its résumé features a couple of tidy nonconference wins, notably over Wichita State and Utah Valley, but its best looks against power‑program opponents ended in tight losses to USC and NC State. A road setback at Butler combined with a string of victories over lesser opponents leaves the profile thin on the kind of road and neutral wins the committee rewards, and while the program’s defense offers a clear identity the offense has been inconsistent. The remaining opportunities at Butler and on the road at San Diego State and Utah State along with a neutral outing against St. Mary’s and home dates with New Mexico and Grand Canyon are the only paths to a statement victory that would alter the current projection.
