In my opinion they will look like la tech did against them.
This is how I predict their season to go.
1st 3 or 4 games of the season play everyone close losing games in the 4thquarter. However because of the talent drop off between the 2nd string of tcu and the other teams in the big 12 they will be forced to play there starters more than they should, causing them to be tired and more open to injuries.
This will compound through the year. And by the end of the year they will be losing games to bad teams.
I expect they will win 2 games they shouldn't and lose 3 or 4 they should win.
Long term they will recuit and fill in quite nicely for a&m on a winning basis.
I predict 7-5 next year depending on OCC schedule. With most of there wins coming in the first 8 games.

Based on the number of recent NFL draft picks, TCU's talent is on par with the best teams in the Big 12. Winning the Rose Bowl has helped them get into living rooms they couldn't get into before. And in case you didn't know it, last year Texas was the only Big 12 school with a bigger football budget than the Horned Frogs.

TCU is recruiting better now than everyone but the elite Big XII teams.

OU/Texas/OSU are all better in the talent department but neither OU or Texas is playing up to said talent.
TCU will come in and immediately be better than everyone other than the above mentioned teams and Baylor (if and only if RG3 was to return)

I'm not sure how the Big XII is going to handle their schedule next year but TCU will be in the title hunt based on their current talent level.

This is a fair evaluation. TCU's ability to recruit well over the last two seasons has resulted in some quality talent. More is needed. Specifically experienced talent is needed. At the moment TCU is a young team and will continue to get better. I'm hoping for a 9-3 season next year with a bowl win. This should keep the recruiting options open.
