Despite not playing over the weekend, the 2-0 TCU Horned Frogs continued their climb in both the Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN Coaches polls this week. The Frogs find themselves ranked 20th in the A.P. poll and 19th in the coaches poll.
The Frogs gained 114 additional points in moving up two spots from 22nd in the A.P. poll this week. The Frogs tallied 309 points to rank between No. 19 Washington (352) and No. 21 Alabama (223).
The No. 20 ranking for TCU in the writers' poll is the Frogs' top ranking since they were ranked 13th in the final regular season poll in 2000, when they boasted a 10-1 record.
TCU went from 157 points to 298 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll to move from 23rd in the country to No. 19. The Frogs rank between No. 18 Arkansas (420) and No. 20 Texas A&M (249) in the poll. The Frogs have climbed nine notches in the coaches' poll over the last two weeks.
Oklahoma continues to lead both polls, followed by Miami.
The Horned Frogs will put that national ranking on the line on Saturday, September 20, when they host the Vanderbilt Commodores (1-2) out of the Southeastern Conference. Game time is set for 6:05 p.m. at TCU's Amon G. Carter Stadium.
