TCU faces a long wait for its possible poll redemption | Fort Worth Star Telegram
Gil Lebreton manages to support TCU and Minnesota in the same sentence, while dogging Vanderbilt.

Unimpressive opener leaves No. 2 TCU with a few things to work on | ESPN
There's stuff to work on, but even ESPN is staying positive about the Frogs.

TCU stayed atop the rankings this week.
The Horned Frogs weren’t impressive, at least by their 2014 standards, in a 23-17 victory at Minnesota. But often, we don’t give enough credit for road victories. Look at it this way. TCU went on the road and beat a Big Ten team that last season went 8-5 against a solid schedule.
