TCU football: How Horned Frogs went from Cinderella to contender

TCU football was picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 in preseason. The team beat Oklahoma by 31 points and close wins over Kansas, Oklahoma State and Kansas State.

TCU is the third seed in the College Football Playoff. The Frogs beat Michigan in Fiesta Bowl. They are the underdogs against Georgia in Monday's national championship game. Georgia is a 13½-point favorite. Georgia can become the first program to win back-to-back national titles since Alabama in 2011-12. It's the team's first national title since 1938. Coach Sonny Dykes was hired in November 2021 to replace Gary Patterson. He was on a conference call to preview the championship. His team is motivated by the fact that they are underdog. "It's one of the main things that has driven them to the success they've come to this year," said Quentin Johnston.

TCU football coach Dykes believes his team is good enough to win all three games. The team has exceeded expectations all season. They have to take it one game at a time.
