Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher decided to take a shot at TCU and the Big 12 Conference this week.
TCU is coming off a fantastic first year under Sonny Dykes. The Frogs went undefeated in the regular season and defeated Michigan in a College Football Playoff semifinal thriller. TCU fell to Georgia 65-7 in the national title game, a bitter end to the Frogs’ dream season.
Fisher had some interesting comments about TCU’s playoff year while speaking at an Aggies event in Fort Worth on Wednesday.
“They (TCU) stayed healthy, they had a lot of experience and they got to where they had to get to, and then when they got to the SEC, it changed, didn’t it?”
Fisher challenged the validity of TCU’s season, implying they would not have had the same success in the big bad SEC.
Saying the SEC is a higher level of competition is a fair statement, but dissing a TCU team for getting washed by a Georgia team who is 16-0 vs. SEC opponents over the last two years is unfair.
Texas A&M and Fisher should be more worried about competing against the Sun Belt rather than taking jabs at a team who played in the national title.
