FWST: TCU faces wake-up call after poll drop with Big 12 opener at hand

A TCU football team in need of a wake-up call after consecutive inconsistent performances will get two of them this week.

For starters, the Horned Frogs (1-1) fell out of Sunday’s updated college football polls following Saturday night’s 41-38 loss to then-unranked Arkansas in double overtime. The Frogs were omitted from this week’s Top 25 rankings by voters in both The Associated Press and the coaches polls.

TCU began the season as the top-ranked college football team in Texas, at No. 13 in AP’s preseason rankings, but the Frogs have backtracked in consecutive polls after allowing a combined 82 points in the first two weeks of the season.
