FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU is in the same position it was at this point last season before making it to the national championship game. The Horned Frogs are going into their Big 12 opener unranked, still trying to find their way and with nobody talking about them being a playoff contender. What is different this time is TCU (1-1) can’t have another undefeated regular season like the one that carried the Frogs all the way into the four-team College Football Playoff last year in their debut with coach Sonny Dykes, even after losing the Big 12 championship game. “Honestly, our performance thus far this season has probably mirrored our performance a little bit last season,” Dykes said. “We had a better Colorado team we played Week 1. If we had played a really good Colorado team last year, I don’t know how we would have fared in that game.”Dykes has repeatedly said TCU was “probably a slightly below average football team” the first three or four games last season. But that squad just k...
