[QUOTE="TX_Krötenechse, post: 2753241, member: 71470"] I hate to be the one to tell you this, but realistically there about about 10-15 programs in the country that can realistically compete for a national championship in any given year, and TCU isn’t one of them. Lightning can theoretically strike from outside that group, but it hasn’t happened in 20+ years. In the BCS and CFP era, only 11 programs have won championships - that’s in 22 years. If you go back to 1988, you can add 6 more if you include all co-champions. 1990 when Colorado and GT were co-champions or 1991 when Washington was a co-champion were the last time that any school that isn’t a blue blood has won the championship. Florida and Nebraska won quite a few of those, too, and it’s hard to see either of them repeating at the moment. All this to say ... if you only focus on the championship, then you picked the wrong team to follow. Because while in 2014 and 2010 I firmly believe we could’ve won the natty, we didn’t get the chance, and I don’t know if lightning can strike three times. [/QUOTE]
