So true, nobody had TCU beating Michigan in the CFP. If we start the season 3-1, will fans expect us to lose the rest based on predictions? I would not tell the players or CWF that.
You can understand those evaluating the conference putting Houston last. I would put them last too, based on unknowns. Unknown coaches, unknown system, unknown players and how will they pick up new system, team chemistry and difficult schedule, heck put them last until they show they have it together, but TCU put it together in year one. We have talent and good coaches.
