You can make that argument for football, but not basketball.

I can't imagine there's a TCU fan anywhere that's even worried about basketball atm with their football game against Ole Miss coming up.

TCU dropped from 69 to 86 in the RPI by beating Grambling last night.

Their strength of schedule dropped to 294 (out of 351 teams)!

Not bashing TCU, they are having a nice season and doing what they need to do much like we did last season, but the fact enough voters put them in the top 25 shows what a joke the polls are.

No other way to spin it.

Side note - when looking to confirm the total number of teams you see our old friends Rice at the very bottom of the RPI at 351. Yikes!

Nice win against Lamar. Lot of TCU bashing in this thread. What exactly is the Pony's shining basketball moment this season? Beating Lamar? Beating that horrible Michigan team that lost to NJIT? Or perhaps losing to Indiana is your shining moment?

Three losses to perennial powerhouse programs in Gonzaga, Indiana, and Arkansas. Our wins against Wyoming and Michigan are vastly superior to anything that Texas Cocaine University has trotted out there this year.

They will get theirs in conference play.

Just go back to your room. You are winning in football for the time being so enjoy it while you can.

Expect TCU to climb in the polls after the genius who ranked them 11 moves up to 2 behind KY after their win last night.

There is no TCU bashing in this thread. But there is schedule bashing and pollster bashing

I want SMU/TCU to open up their renovated arena next year, I'd love to turn off the lights for the first time in that yellow brick monstrosity.

If we're going to play TCU for the foreseeable future in basketball then it would behoove us for them to be decent. No way they're one of the 25 best teams in the country right now, though.

And what is TCU's? Beating an Ole Miss team that lost to Charleston Southern? Or perhaps it was beating a Miss State team that also lost to South Carolina Upstate.
