As expected, TCU fell in both of Sunday’s polls, dropping from 4th in both to 10th and 12th in the AP and Coaches respectively. Frankly, I am okay with this. It was a bit of a pipe dream to think the Frogs could make it through the meat-grinder that is the Big 12 this season unscathed, and if you’re going to take an L, might as well be against a ranked foe on the road early enough to recover. Iowa State, who flew up the charts from 25th to 14/16 certainly earned the victory, and looked every part of a conference contender in the victory.
