It's a tougher conference. I do not know why anyone would think you just waltz in from the MWC and dominate. Big 12 to SEC, mostly lateral. MWC to Big 12, not so much.

Better than miles, Patterson did it with freshman and a RB playing QB.

Completely forgot about TCU's record against the Ags. Trust me, I ain't mad.

I think we have got off topic. The main idea here is that Gary Patterson is not going to get Arkansas any further than they have already in the SEC. Maybe Saban?

Patterson is an outstanding coach. Should Les ever leave, at present he would be at the top of my short list. See below . . .

Biggest surprise: TCU's resurgence. I wasn't the only one prepared to bury TCU's first season in the Big 12 after losing star quarterback Casey Pachall and three days later, a home game to Iowa State by 14 points. The personnel losses were too much, we thought. Nope. The Frogs rallied, despite losing 20-plus players and fielding a team that was 70 percent freshmen and sophomores. They led the league in total defense, rolled over Baylor, beat West Virginia with a pair of gutsy calls in overtime and beat Texas solidly on Thanksgiving night. The Frogs also hung tough with Big 12 co-champions Oklahoma and K-State. These Frogs belong, and will only get better.

Losing your QB when you already at a talent disadvantage didn't help. It isn't like TCU is stacked with talent like OU and UT. He does a good job developing 3 star guys into NFL players.

Losing to OU and K State is no big deal. Oklahoma State isn't really a big deal either as they have more talent on the roster. The OSU game is kinda bad because they got blown out and OSU was mediocre this year.

Losing to Iowa State by 14 and giving up 56 to TTU is bad though. They have the talent to beat teams like that and losing by double digits or giving up over 50 is bad. That being said, there are probably quite a few teams out there that would start dropping games when their QB has to be booted from the team.

I do think if you gave Patterson talent like UT or OU, then he'd dominate the Big 12. In the MWC he was used to playing with equal or more talent. It is hard when the other team has more talent many games.
