TCU coach Gary Patterson doesn’t want to have an “all-or-nothing” approach to the Ohio State game. But he acknowledged the Frogs’ dreams of making the College Football Playoff will largely ride on what happens Saturday night at AT&T Stadium.
If No. 15-ranked TCU upsets No. 4-ranked Ohio State, it’s likely poised for a big jump in the rankings and thrusts itself in playoff talk. A loss, of course, relegates the Frogs to being an afterthought for the playoffs.
“The worst thing we could do at TCU is put all of our balls in one basket,” Patterson said on the Big 12 football coaches teleconference earlier this week.
