[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 2490033, member: 3528"] I think it really comes down to that P5 / G5 divide. Since the BCS started in 1998, there are only three schools to have been elevated from G5 to P5 status: Us, Utah, and Louisville. I think TCU and Utah are viewed at in largely the same category, whereas Louisville gets a bit more benefit since they joined the Big-Conference club 7 years before we did. Despite all of the success that TCU had from 1998-2012, that barely counts save maybe for the lingering respect from the Rose Bowl win. The clock only really re-started on our national relevance when we joined the Big 12. So we have 5.5 seasons, 3 of which were mediocre for whatever reason. 2014, 2015, and this year have done well to put us in to that national respect category, but we still have a ways to go. It's not fair, but it's the reality of the have-vs-have-nots dichotomy of college football between P5 and G5 schools. [/QUOTE]
