Sitting at 1-1 with a three-point loss against Iowa State and a win against the formerly ninth-ranked Texas Longhorns in Austin puts TCU on the cusp of joining the AP Top 25. Same goes for their opponent, the 2-1 Kansas State Wildcats. They are Team No. 26 in the nation with 142 votes, the most for any team without a shiny number next to their name. The Horned Frogs received 97 votes this week, the fifth-most among unranked teams.
“It [winning last week] gave us a lot of confidence because Texas is a very good football team,” TCU cornerback Noah Daniels said.
