Projection: likely out

Liberty’s best moments are solid and straightforward wins over Charleston and Florida Atlantic plus a neutral-site victory over Vermont, but those resume builders come against opponents that do not carry heavy weight with a committee and so they do little to offset the damage from a home defeat to Towson and a neutral-site setback to Bradley. The schedule still hands them clear chances to flip that narrative with road dates at NC State and Dayton that would serve as signature answers if they win, yet those games are difficult tests and road work in league play at places like WKU, MTSU and New Mexico State will be the more realistic path to improve the resume. Right now the profile is held back by a lack of quality wins away from home and a couple of damaging losses, and unless Liberty can pick up at least one marquee victory on the road and avoid further bad losses the team is likely to remain on the outside looking in.
