Projection: likely out

Grand Canyon projects as likely out because its resume carries bright flashes that are outweighed by damaging setbacks. The Antelopes have proven they can beat quality opponents away from home and on neutral courts, with victories at Boise State and Fresno State, a signature home win over San Diego State, and a neutral win at Utah, yet those highlights sit beside ugly road defeats at New Mexico and St. Louis and nonconference misses against Youngstown State and in neutral losses to Iowa and Oklahoma State. The defense keeps them in games but the offense has been inconsistent in the toughest spots, so the body of work lacks the sustained, marquee road and neutral victories a committee prizes. A string of conference opportunities at home and on the road, including another meeting with Boise State and trips to San Diego State and Utah State, gives them clear chances to repair the profile, but unless they capitalize the combination of prior bad losses and limited signature wins will likely keep them out.
