Lots of "TCU started 20/22 upperclassmen, they will fall off next year" and "TCU won't have sustained success" comments here lately.
At the end of the day, TCU is playing for a national championship, while we have yet to play in a conference championship this century. Many of you would sell your souls for the position TCU is in this year.
NOT counting this year, TCU has 6 Top 10 AP poll finishes in the last 20 seasons. They have two Top 5 finishes (#2 and #3). Again, NOT counting this year.
We have 2 Top 10 AP poll finishes in the last 20 seasons. They were both Top 5 finishes at #5 and #4.
TCU may not have sustained success. They may be a one hit wonder. However, their level of sustained success and their non-hit success far exceeds ours.
We should have nothing but respect for what they have done, even without this "one hit wonder" season.
I doubt there is any Ag who would honestly not trade TCU's success over the last 20 seasons (including their bad years) with what we have achieved. They have accomplished far more than us. Plain and simple.
I know I may be going back some years but us oldies still have a hard time believing TCU is so much better than A&M.
Additionally, even counting this year for TCU, A&m has a better conference win % than TCU over the last 5 years.
Texas A&M and TCU haven't played in over 20 years. Texas A&M may have a better conference win % over the last 5 years (seriously doubt that holds over 10 years or 20 years), but Top 20, Top 10, and Top 5 final finishes suggest TCU has been much better over the last 20 years.
We crush them head to head. That is true and good. But they have more sustained success over the last 20 years than we have. The point is that those saying TCU is a one hit wonder are wrong and haven't been paying attention. They have had real success over the last 20 years (and do have some really bad years). We have been mostly mediocre. They have been mostly good or bad. I know which I would rather have.
I would rather have the one that has lead to a shot at the national title in 5 days. But that's just me.
