A couple of you really dont think TCU is a top 25 team or are they the forgotten team?

I'm the only one that's left them out, I think. The issue is probably their schedule strength to this point.

Easy Mac didnt either! The Gophers played them tough but the Gophers were a bowl team last year playing them at home. TCU has basically everyone back from a playoff team last year. I am thinking they are about as locked in to be a top 25 as any team in the land right now. Haha! I know its for fun it just struck me as odd they were left off two separate top 25 ballots.

It looks like the computers don't know quite what to make of TCU yet. In the composite computer rankings, they are all over the place.

edit: and quite a few other teams as well. There are some high std dev values out there. But it does usually settle down by week 6 or so.
