The vast majority of head coaches kept TCU in the No. 2 position with their runner-up finish. Texas-El Paso head coach Dana Dimel had the Horned Frogs fall all the way down to the No. 9 position.
TCU finished its season with two losses: one to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship game and one to Georgia in the National Championship game.
