Sporting News: 247Sports calls TCU one of most ‘overrated’ college football teams in country since 2010

[An-Cap Frog]

The only criteria was how many times a school was ranked pre-season and ended up unranked. And yes, Texas is on the list.

Seems like a narrow analysis.

I would place their material in the bathroom instead.

On a roller.

Kinda surprised. Always thought Sporting News liked us.

A five paragraph article?
I've written longer articles on a non-district high school girls soccer match.

I think Sporting News pick the article up from another source.

"...after reaching the national championship game."

Exactly how many teams can say they have done that since 2010? And virtually nobody predicted we would make it to the national championship game that year. Those two things alone should dismiss this claim.

How many former Big 12 teams ever won a CFP game?

56) TCU Horned Frogs​

TCU was in the national championship just two years ago, but that fact already seems a distant memory. Considering the 65-7 final score against Georgia, it’s probably best for the Horned Frogs. Regardless, QB Josh Hoover flashed in his redshirt freshman season, but his injury allowed transfer addition Ken Seals to receive valuable first-team reps in the spring.


If Seals is named the starter, the Horned Frogs will fall down the 2024 Big 12 Power Rankings — we know who he is, and he isn’t a winning QB. Former Boise State head coach Andy Avalos comes in to stabilize a unit that was dead last in turnovers forced in the conference last year.

247 has obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a [ Finebaum ].

Some of yall are missing the point. The argument is TCU is preseason poll overrated. Not once the season starts and we make the polls. Its just that we can't be counted on when we're in the top 25 before the season starts. And you can't argue much against that.

 

[Palliative Care]

Preseason polls are over rated.

Seems as if 247 has a problem ranking teams!

Sure, 5 times TCU was ranked in the pre-season @ 20, 20, 13, 16, & 17. What about the three times that TCU was not ranked and finished 3, 9, & 2. To go from 20 to out is not that significant as a miss than NR to 2 or 3. The 3 times TCU was ranked wire to wire the polls were only off on average by 3 spots.

Year (Pre-season ranking, Final ranking)
2010 - 6/2
2011 - 14/14
2012 - 20/RV
2013 - 20/NR
2014 - RV/3
2015 - 2/7
2016 - 13/NR
2017 - RV/9
2018 - 16/NR
2019 - RV/NR
2020 - NR/NR
2022 - NR/2
2023 - 17/NR

Please no facts. They are way too confusing.
