The Frogs made a statement on national television Thursday night, but it wasn't enough to move them up in either the Coaches, or the AP Poll. TCU remained at No. 3 in the Coaches poll behind dormant Ohio State and Baylor, both of whom came away from the bye week unscathed (they obviously performed better than the Frogs did on their bye week, as TCU dropped a spot after theirs).
Meanwhile, a 40-10 win over West Virginia on national television wasn't enough to bump TCU up over an LSU that also faced a bye week without falling in the polls, and a Clemson team that struggled for a while with a decent NC State squad.
