1. Freaking TCU is in the College Football Playoff National Championship
Hand raised – I thought TCU was going to lose to Colorado in the season opener. Now it might win the national championship – at least it has a shot.
TCU is in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Not Oklahoma, and not Texas. TC-freaking-U is the first Big 12 team to get on the biggest stage.
Notre Dame hasn’t been able to get there. USC, Penn State, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Florida haven’t been able to make the four team tournament, much less the title game.
TCU. It went 5-7 in two of the last four seasons and had three losing campaigns in the previous six.
TCU. It was in the Mountain West 11 years ago, Conference USA in 2004, and the WAC (sky point) in 2002.
TCU. The school with an enrollment of around 10,000 in a football-mad state ruled by Texas and Texas A&M.
And now it has a shot. No one’s going to pick TCU to win, but it’s got speed, it has the quarterback in Max Duggan, and it has the chance to win its second universally acknowledged national title – 1938 being the first.
