Roses, Peaches, and a miraculous Alamo Bowl win were nice, but TCU wants a national championship already.
Now that the Big 12 has come to its senses about bringing back the conference title game, the Frogs' hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff have improved. If the playoff committee wants 13 wins at the end of the season, by gosh, that's what they'll give them.
Nonconference schedules matter, and strength can make or break a season.
It's a fine line to walk -- a difficult schedule increases your chances of losing, obviously, but a joke of a schedule will get you laughed out of the committee room.
