Projection: likely out

TCU’s résumé blends eye-opening neutral wins over Florida and Wisconsin and a tough showing at Michigan with alarming slips such as the home loss to New Orleans and a narrow defeat to Notre Dame, creating a profile that looks capable but inconsistent. The most persuasive results came away from home or on neutral courts where the team closed against quality foes, while the damage came in games that a committee will view as avoidable home blemishes. The league slate still offers meaningful chances to reshape perception, with road tests at Kansas and at BYU and high-visibility home opportunities against Baylor and Arizona standing out as moments to prove steadiness. Until those marquee opportunities are settled, the résumé reads like a team with clear upside but enough troubling results to keep its status in doubt.
