So right now we only have 1 loss to a Big XII, Top 25 Team. Not the disaster of a season everyone was wringing their hands and wailing about a week ago.

That's why you need to wait til the end of the season before you judge. Suddenly TCU looks like the easiest of our big three games.

We weren't playing a top 25 team last week. :roll:

Sagarin Ratings are out-I think this is the week they throw out 2012 numbers.

SMU is at No. 82-still trying to locate about half of the AAC-this could take awhile

Surprised Oregon only has one vote. I'd vote them over bama. I think they are better than A&M. Their defense is obviously better and their offense is too.

That can't be possible, TT has a walk-on true frosh at QB, and a frosh that filled in late and lit TCU up ... Paterson is "D" guru, no that can't be right.



Interesting comments from Kingsberry in a interview they showed during the game regarding why a frosh QB and WR can come in from the get-go and make an impact. QB gurus, 7-7, out of season training and condition etc, the commentators made similar comments when they showed the programs this season that had true freshman at the helm.

I think TT is a mediocre Big 12 team but I think this year with a an exclusion of a few teams, it looks like the entire FBS looks weak. I think TT normally wouldn't even be considered a top 30 team if it were last year.

So, if we wind up beating TCU, I'm sure folks still won't be happy; it will perpetuate our ability to only beat UNranked teams.
edit: fixed that logic
