According to this, we will play 5 games against Top 10 talent...

7. USC

The Skinny: Chemistry will be a work in progress.

8. Wichita State

The Skinny: Shockers will step up a weight class in the American Conference.

9. Cincinnati

The Skinny: Don’t blink, you’ll miss Sacred Heart transfer Cane Broome.

Nationally, we just lost too much to be considered top 25 for a lot of people. But we should at least be garnering votes.

It would be great if TCU is a ranked team when we play them.
