Worst Drop-off After CFP

Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State are ranked #1, #2, #4 after playing in college football playoffs last year. TCU however is unranked and 3-2 with two losses at home to unranked teams. The contrast with the other other 3 CFP teams is startling. We beat Michigan just a few months ago but seems like an eternity now. I’m curious some of the greatest falls after making CFP.

We lost in the most lopsided bowl game ever so I don’t think our fall can be compared to any other Championship Game finalist but to name a few, Auburn and FSU (up until this year) have been irrelevant since 2013.

Lots of football left to play in 2023. Everyone expected a drop off, and this season could still be a great success.

I re-watched both of TCU's Alamo Bowl games recently. I like that bowl game (on TV; I've heard griping about the facility).

Love the optimism but I see us losing to UT and OU. Plus one more. 6-5 record.

Not sure how we define “great success”Maybe it’s Top 10 ranking, Maybe B12 champion, Maybe it’s National Champion. Hope I’m wrong but hard to imagine going to CFP now. FWIW, Goo was wrong once before about TCU football.

I picked Frogs to go 8-4. Lost too much starting talent. TCU not like Bama, Georgia, Michigan, etc, not stacked with 4 & 5 star talent waiting for their turn.
After last night, thinking more like 7-5, possibly 6-6 unless team, and Coaches refocus fast!

maybe that is more an indication of how much this team overachieved last season than how far they have "fallen' this year

believe the term would actually be reversion and not fallen

Everything lined up for us last year. Senior laden offensive line. Star QB, RB, and WR. High impact defensive players. All that is gone and unless you are brining in top 10 talent year in and year out you are going to have to settle with teams that will challenge for conference titles, but playoff challengers are only going to happen once and a while.

Also see MSU right now: they went 11-2 in 2021, then 5-7 last year and are now 2-3 with little hope of bowl eligibility. This is what's haunting me right now. See also Baylor and Oklahoma State in 2021: both barely missed the CFP (OSU courtesy of falling 6 inches short in the Big 12 championship game to Baylor, and Baylor courtesy of getting destroyed in Fort Worth). Both lost at least six games last year and look like 6-6 teams or worse this year.

One amazing season is still fun in its own right no matter what comes later. We'll always have the memories of 2022; it was a fantastic ride. But it doesn't guarantee us future success. You actually have to leverage it into sustainable success. I'm not sure what that means we needed to do this season, but whatever that is, I don't think we're doing it.

We do not have a QJ on this team.

Miller was special. Bailey it too but not like Miller IMO. BTW, I love Bailey's tenacity and grit.

I think the biggest difference in this year's team and last year's is we've played in two really close games so far and are 0-2 in those games. That's it. We won those games last year. A play here, a play there, sometimes that's really all it is. Yeah, last year's team was better I'd say, but I don't think by near as much as what most people might think.

I told everyone who wanted to talk Frogs football after the Colorado game that, after what happened last year, we were due for about 3-4 more of those. Well, WVU was one more.
