Third-ranked TCU has a definite route to the playoff after another regular season-ending rout of Iowa State. That is much different from 2014, when the Horned Frogs got left out.
another regular season-ending rout of Iowa State“I know the history with TCU and Iowa State, and big victories, and it didn’t work out particularly well in 2014," first-year Frogs coach Sonny Dykes after their 62-14 win over Iowa State on Saturday.
“It’s a gauntlet. I think people that know, really study the game, know how good the league is," Dykes said. "So to be able to go through this thing undefeated, to be able to win the road games that we did, to grind through some of the tough ones we had to grind through, I think shows that we have a good football team.”
But the Frogs might not even have to win that rematch to get into one of the national semifinal games after . Previously undefeated Ohio State lost 45-23 at home to Michigan, and Clemson also lost before TCU had even kicked off Saturday. LSU, fifth in the CFP rankings even with two losses already, lost again Saturday night, as did Oregon .
The Cyclones were a two-win team that season, with that finale being their fifth loss by at least 20 points.
