Projection: likely out

Wyoming’s profile reads like a team that has beaten the wrong teams and fallen short against the right ones, with comfortable nonconference wins over Cal State Fullerton, Portland, Denver and similar foes doing little to build a resume, while a road loss at Sam Houston State is a clear eyesore. Their closest thing to a quality performance came at Texas Tech, which showed they can hang in a hostile building even in defeat, but they still lack a true road or neutral victory over a top-tier opponent to convince a committee. The Mountain West slate hands them manageable home chances against Air Force and San Jose State and a chance to claim a solid win at home against Nevada, yet tougher trips to Utah State, San Diego State, Boise State, Grand Canyon and New Mexico present the real opportunities to change the conversation. Right now the defense looks steadier than the offense and the body of work is defined by safe wins and a few damaging losses, so until Wyoming grabs a signature result away from Laramie their standing will reflect a team on the outside looking in.
