Projection: likely out

Colorado State’s résumé contains clear highs — neutral-site wins over Wichita State and South Florida, a road victory at Loyola-Chicago, and a signature home win over Colorado — but those bright spots are undercut by ugly road losses at Utah State and San Diego State and by conference trips to Fresno State and Boise State that also ended poorly. Committees place extra value on success away from home and on avoiding lopsided defeats, so the mix of respectable but not signature wins and damaging losses leaves the Rams on the outside looking in. With only a handful of remaining chances — home dates against San Jose State and conference tests at UNLV and New Mexico among them — Colorado State can still improve its case but would need a decisive road or neutral win to change the narrative.
