Define real and nobodys since we know in the Pony Express days Rice was a powerhouse as was TCU (we were in the middle of a 15-game winning streak against those guys?) and Baylor was very average, A&M was down until Jackie Sherrill got there.
Then throw in some cornball non-conference opponents like UNT, UTEP and maybe UTA(?).
Texas and Arkansas were the games and Tech and UH were always the wild card games.
We did what we needed to do against those teams and we deserved to be a national power then.
TCU deserves to be a national power now. They didn't go to Salt Lake City last week and beat the dog out of Utah because they were lucky. There are enough quality wins by TCU over the years to reveal how good of a program it is.
Just keeping it real.
