Diehards: Former TCU WR Deante Gray calls 2014 playoff snub a ‘slap in the face’

It’s now been more than three years since TCU football was dropped from No. 3 to No. 6 in the final College Football Playoff rankings of the 2014 regular season — despite coming off a 55-3 win over Iowa State.
And for at least one player on that Big 12 championship team, the wounds inflicted by the playoff committee are still fresh.
Former Horned Frogs wide receiver Deante Gray, in a radio interview with Heartland College Sports’ Pete Mundo, said it still hurts to think about what could have been after TCU wasn’t picked for a chance to compete for a trip to the national championship game and more.
Gray, who played at TCU from 2012-2016, described it as a “slap on the face” when it was revealed that his team wouldn’t be heading to Rose Bowl or Sugar Bowl game that New Year’s Day — especially after dominating the competition week after week in the stretch run of the regular season.
