TCU Horned Frogs – No. 6

TCU and Oklahoma share the same destiny right now. In fact, the Big 12 leader will emerge when this week is all said and done. The Horned Frogs will have their chance to assume control of their destiny.

If they can knock off Oklahoma, then they will be the final chance the Big 12 has at making the College Football Playoff. It might not be enough to put them in right now, but it will put them at the edge so to speak.

Then from there, they can focus on winning out and hope that the teams ahead of them scuffle a bit so that they can get into the final four. Iowa State having a remarkable year has helped the sting of their lone loss.

Beating Oklahoma would give them the signature win that they need as well. Really, everything said about the Sooners also applies here. TCU just has to win out and hope for some losses ahead of them.
