TCU accepts bid to Houston

The Frogs will play former SWC rival Houston in the Texas Bowl after accepting a bid today to the Dec. 28 game at Reliant Stadium. The Frogs played twice in the Houston Bowl, the predecessor to the current bowl, going 1-1. It's a nice reward for a team that overcame significant challenges during the regular season. After being predicted to win the conference in the preseason, the Frogs lost four Mountain West Conference games and finished 7-5.

TCU should be favored going into the game, but as the final Saturday of the regular season indicated, being favored really means little this year. (OU was favored over No. 1 Missouri, but the top two teams still went down.)

I like TCU in this game. The Houston players have to feel some level of disappointment with Briles leaving to coach Baylor. TCU is playing better now and Chris Turner should be able to run against the Cougars.
