In some ways, TCU’s loss against a depleted Iowa State team last Saturday is a reflection of college football’s current landscape.
“I think everybody's upset and dissatisfied that we lost a game that we felt like we should have won on Saturday,” TCU head coach Sonny Dykes said at his weekly press conference. “You look around college football, it's pretty interesting right now. … I think three teams ranked in the top 25 this week that were 6-2 that lost to teams that, you look at it before the game and you go, man, they probably shouldn't lose to these guys.”
It’s true many teams have fallen short of expectations during the 2025 season. Dykes cited preseason national title contender Penn State (3-6) as an example of how the new college football landscape - i.e. NIL and the transfer portal - is closing the gap between the top-tier and lower-tier teams.
