CiCi’s and heartbreak: TCU’s Niko Small remembers 2014 playoff snub

Niko Small wasn’t part of the TCU football team in 2014, but the Arlington Bowie product was already committed. He felt like he was part of the Frogs family.

So Small had just as much disappointment as anyone when TCU had been left out of the College Football Playoff. The Frogs, somehow, dropped from No. 3 in the country to No. 6 despite winning the season finale 55-3 over Iowa State.

The team that benefited the most that final week? Ohio State.

With the Buckeyes coming to town on Saturday, Small recalled that infamous snub on Tuesday.
