[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 3105184, member: 3528"] When we were built on "Texas two-stars"? That was the overwhelming number of wins. From 2001-2007 or so when Patterson was "building" the program, our P5 wins were what? Northwestern 3-9 in 2002, 6-6 in 2004), Vanderbilt (2-10), Arizona (2-10), Texas Tech (8-5), Oklahoma (8-4), Iowa State (7-5), and Baylor (4-8 in 2006, 3-9 in 2007). Losses to Nebraska, Texas Tech, Texas, and Texas A&M? If I recall, we only beat two teams in those six years that finished the year ranked (Louisville in 2001, OU in 2005). So outside of two or three games (OU and Tech, maybe Louisville), what super impressive win did those "Texas 2-Stars" have? Does anyone really think 2002 or 2003 TCU's recruiting would be sufficient for the current landscape of P5 football, even a UT or OU-free Big 12? I don't. Seems like we were the epitome of what the non-AQ stereotype was during that time period: Really good in theb confines of our conference, but not up to beating elite level teams with any regularity. That didn't really change until 2008 or so, coincidentally around the time that really started to improve our recruiting. Not taking anything away from those players, just saying like others have said the notion that recruiting doesn't matter is pretty conclusively shown to be not true. [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
