What was tcu ranked last year

They will then travel to SMU on Sept. Skip to content. Associated Press. TCU Ranked No. TCU finished their off in style and with a move up the college football rankings. TCU finished undefeated in the regular season for the second consecutive year.

If you finish the previous regular season undefeated, return the majority of your starters and finish the season undefeated from start to finish again the following year, how aren't you ranked No. The Horned Frogs were given a schedule, told "here is who you play" and simply went out and beat every one of those teams, most of which came in dominant fashion.

The biggest knock against TCU has been that they don't play anyone that's any good, right? Well, take a look at how each conference fared in bowl games this season. Right at the top, with a record and the best winning percentage of any conference in college football, stands the Mountain West Conference. And this isn't the first time that has happened, as the same story was true last year as well. In fact, if you look over the records of all the conferences in bowl games for the past four years, the best is still the Mountain West.

So TCU was ranked No. TCU did not lose a single game all year, yet it somehow finished the regular season ranked behind both of them. How can that be?

Being ranked ahead of Auburn, winning all its games and beating Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl should be enough to not get jumped in the rankings. Simply put, TCU looked like a No. The Horned Frogs did not turn the ball over once, only committed four penalties and senior quarterback Andy Dalton completed 65 percent of his passes and looked extremely efficient, something he has done his entire career at TCU. And TCU proved all those doubters wrong, beating the Badgers in a game that many expected them to lose.
