not gonna happen

TCU is the real deal
I’m sorry.  I just don’t see it. 12-0 is great and all, but I’m not even sure any of the wins are against top 10 teams. 

Ok, I just looked. KSU is #10, at 9-3. Obviously TCU beat them earlier in the season. There is only one other team in the Top 25, Texas at #21 8-4. 

I’d put about 8 teams in front of TCU.

in that game, TCU knocked Martinez out early.
#2 QB RUBLEY came in and threw a pick

TCU trailed 28-17 at the half

HOWARD has a little more seasoning now.
K-state has a decent chance in this one

Well Mr Gigem thats why they play the game

Ive watched them play at least 5 times this year and I know a very good team when I see one

i dont think they are the best team in the country as thats probably Georgia but I do think they are very capable of beating Michigan
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

It’s not 100% that they aren’t a great team, it’s that they only play about 2-3 decent teams and then a host of cream puffs. oSu is bad, KU is bad, Baylor is bad. They’re not slugging it out every week, all year. 

I’d put Ohio State, UTenn, Michigan, LSU, Florida State ahead of them easily.

PS…I’ll give you even odds that they don’t make the playoff. 

I will give tcu credit, they won all their games, and that’s all you can do.

And their best win is over a now 4 loss team. 

Likely will get crushed in the CFP. But the lesson is, play a weak schedule. 

This is why I’m all for a 12 team playoff. Not that I don’t think TCU is deserving, but so is Ohio St and so many others. 

Let it be settled on the field.

thanks buddy

Rhule was high on my list

beating Iowa was the game highest on my list and it happened - shoot
Those two things let the Huskers close out the season on a high note. Beat the hated Hawkeyes and have reason to hope for a better future.
Hope some of that better future shows up in 2023.

Wouldn’t it be funny if KSU beat TCU in the CCG and knocked them out of the CFP ?
TCU is good, but it's a tough team to root for. The Frogs' M.O. this season has been to knock the other team's QB out of the game.

OTOH, K-State is easy to root for.

It would be better for the Big 12 if TCU made the playoff. But after last night's officiating in Lubbock, I'm where it seems that Utee has been since the start of the season--ready to put the Big 12 in the rear-view mirror.

K-State is capable of beating TCU. The Kitties almost did it in the regular season. Maybe they'll get the job done the second time around.

Go, Wildcats!
