The Horned Frogs weren't on anyone's ranking board before the season — literally starting at zero — and now they're sitting at #25 with nine wins. That's not a fluke; that's a team that figured things out and ground its way into the conversation. Going from unranked to the final poll means you didn't just win games, you earned respect.
Nine wins and a number next to your name — TCU's stock is pointing up. The question now isn't whether they belonged this year. It's whether this is a floor or a launching pad.
