I personally think TCU lost too much defensively-Chucky Hunter-DT, Marcus Mallet-MLB, Paul Dawson-SLB, Jonathan Anderson-SLB, Kevin White-CB, Sam Carter-SS-those guys were studs. I haven't seen some of their replacements play-I'll wait until Thursday to see how they perform but I think TCU may lose 4+ games

Give me Baylor-I think they are loaded this year especially if Seth Russell performs as well as I think he will

So they are the more overrated? I was thinking with Baylor's new q b they might be, but you bring up a good point. Guess the deciding factor was BU at TCU.

UH behind TT is kind of a joke.

Not really with UH having a new coach. There is somewhat of an unknown factor there.

Returning a lot from a winning team, added a bunch of good frosh, and improved the coaching staff. Not nearly as much unknown as tech is... and the UH coach is much better.

TT has two potentially great young QBs both of which performed well and got some great experience-I bet they'd be a favorite to beat UH

Agree with Stallion. They have more overall talent than UH. And until they play some games no one really knows if he is a better head coach. But with his background he has the potential for sure. Tech would beat UH at this point.

Agree, I could see TCU losing to Texas Tech, Baylor, Oklahoma and possibly Texas or Oklahoma State.

especially troubling are road games to Lubbock, Kansas St, Oklahoma and Oklahoma St-those are tough roadtrips. They play 5 Conference road games and only 4 home games

Last year TCU had only a few games out of state. They struggled in all of them.
