8 Teams Outside the CFB Top 25 Capable of Making a Playoff Run
Although it ended spectacularly bad, TCU's miraculous run last season is one of the more incredible feats ever done in college football. The Horned Frogs began the season ranked outside the Top 25 in the AP poll. They ended up in the national championship.
Simply put, this doesn't normally happen—not in a sport growing as top-heavy as this one.
Granted, that national championship game was decided not long after it began. Georgia was too much for the Horned Frogs, and that's putting it mildly. Still, one can't help but appreciate a journey few saw coming.
With the Horned Frogs' efforts now behind us, one can't help but ask the question: Who's next?
