The National Football Post is likely the first of several polls released today to respect the climb of the Texas Christian Horned Frogs. And for the future member of the Big 12, that's good news for their hopes of also climbing toward the big money and respect of a BCS bowl game.
The Horned Frogs avoided the classic "trap game" on Saturday against Colorado State with a solid 34-10 win one week after beating Boise State on the road in a thrilling 36-35 win. With the momentum of six straight victories, TCU is now back firmly in the Top 25 at No. 19 at the NFP and should be on the verge of a possible top 15 placement in the BCS Standings released later tonight on ESPN.
