FORT WORTH, Texas – TCU is receiving votes in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 rankings, marking the first time since the 2011-12 season that the Frogs have been on a voter’s AP ballot and the first time since joining the Big 12 Conference prior to the 2012-13 season.
TCU was last ranked in the Associated Press poll on Nov. 22, 2010 at No. 21 in the nation. All-time, the Horned Frogs have been ranked on 38 occasions with their highest ranking in program history being 13th in the nation.
The AP Poll mention continues a trend of Big 12 firsts for the Frogs in the last week in Big 12 Conference play as TCU secured its first win in a Big 12 Conference opener with a win at Texas Tech and their first 2-0 start in Big 12 Conference play since joining the league following the opening weekend sweep that included a win over Kansas State.
The Frogs have a challenging week ahead as they face No. 17 Oklahoma on Wednesday and No. 6 Baylor on Saturday.
TCU had two wins over ranked opponent a year ago, defeating 16th ranked Oklahoma and 14th ranked Texas in 2014-15. TCU owns three wins over top five teams in the last seven seasons, including a 2008-09 win over No. 3/5 Maryland, a 2008-09 win over No. 3/3 California and a 2009-10 win over No. 10/5 Texas A&M.
