🇹🇹

TCU is falling behind at the exact moment when it just can't afford it. It's great that TCU cracked the CFP in 2022. Awesome stuff. There's a very real chance that in a month's time, Texas, SMU, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and - heck - possibly UNT(!) all will have had a more recent CFP appearance than the Frogs. That carries weight, in The Lone Star State and nationally. Sure, TCU might be winning more than it is losing. But does 15-7 since the start of last season really do that much? All seven of those losses have been ugly in their own unique way, and frankly, bowl eligibility is a footnote in the 12-team CFP era. TCU has one of the biggest football talent pools right in its backyard. TCU has shown what it *can* be for a small private school so many times. Heck, there is Big 12-title-caliber talent on this roster. There isn't really an acceptable reason for the program to not consistently be top-5 in the conference. I'm not here to tell you what the solution is. But I can tell you is that TCU needs to find one quickly. Because the moment you settle for complacency, this game will leave you behind faster than you can blink ... and with nothing more than memories of the good times left behind.
