(Big 12) TCU Horned Frogs
Their last year in the Mountain West TCU won 11 games. It took them two seasons to reach that total in the Big 12 as things have not gone all that smoothly for the Horned Frogs.

Baylor vs TCU College Football Spread/Handicapping
If you were believing the success of the Baylor Bears was too good to be true than you were not all surprised with what happened last week when they were dominated on the road at Oklahoma State.
It has been a horrible season for TCU this year. As it stands right now they will need to sweep their final three games just to become bowl eligible.
The 21st-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys and the TCU Horned Frogs are both coming off a bye and will meet in what should be a tightly contested affair between a pair of teams that can ill afford a loss.
Texas Christian University is in better shape than most Big 12 teams at the quarterback position, although its success still rides on a massive “what-if”.
The Big 12 should offer an exciting conference race this year, the kind that just when you think you know who the winner will be they lose and you have to think about somebody else. There is talent in the league for sure but only one of the ten teams (Texas) is returning their primary starting QB from a year ago.
During the 12-year (and counting) tenure of head coach Gary Patterson of the football team at Texas Christian University, he’s always made sure his squad brings it’s A-game when the nation’s elite competitors were in town. That sort of caged-animal, “never say die” attitude is what precipitates TCU’s move from the Mountain West to the Big 12 this season. This is a tough program that relishes the chance to play the Oklahomas and Texases of the world.
One of the travesties of the current bowl situation is that it places a team like TCU is a low tier game against a relatively low tier opponent before we even ring in the New Year.
It is too bad this contest is not on the gridiron because I would like to have seen that. TCU has no real pedigree when it come to hoops and even though they have a solid record so far they haven’t beaten anybody and have a loss to Norfolk State.
The SMU Mustangs have been using some weak competition to straighten out their game after a disappointing opener against Texas A&M. They come into the weekend on a three game winning streak and they have given up just 7 points over the last two games.
Eight months removed from going undefeated and edging out Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl, Texas Christian University is heading into their final year as a member of the Mountain West Conference without their star quarterback.
