TCU Horned Frogs Ahead of Baylor Bears by 6 Spots

We understand that the TCU Horned Frogs have looked as good as anybody right now. But how can they be 6 spots ahead of a team that beat them, when both teams have the same record? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

The Horned Frogs are a great team and have a chance to accomplish a lot of things, and yes they got robbed to a point against Baylor. But they still lost to Baylor and have no business being ahead of Baylor. At No. 6, TCU is the highest ranked BIg 12 team right now, which is ridiculous. If you want to put Kansas State ahead of Baylor, that’s fine. But TCU doesn’t belong there until Baylor loses again.

If we’re going by eye test, TCU loses there as well. Who honestly believes that the Bears have looked any worse than TCU in any game this year? Both teams have looked great, and it’s frankly stupid to put them so far apart.

It’s even more egregious to put Baylor out of the Top 10 right now behind two Pac-12 teams and a Big Ten team right now. Seriously? Baylor has played a tougher schedule than all of them and deserves more respect than this.
