Tcu Football Predictions for 2023 College Season

The TCU Horned Frogs achieved what no one thought possible last year and made their way into the final game of the College Football Playoffs. Even though the Horned Frogs were defeated by the Georgia Bulldogs in a 65-7 rout, it doesn't diminish the significance of their accomplishments last season in Fort Worth, TX. TCU football finished with a 12-1 record, with the only loss occurring in the Big 12 Championship game against Kansas State, resulting in a three-point defeat. But can TCU, a private school associated with the Christian church, accomplish the unthinkable once again? Can they not only dominate the Big 12 conference but also secure a return to the College Football Playoff? Let's explore some bold predictions for the Horned Frogs in 2023.

4. TCU football will lose to Deion Sanders and Colorado in Week 1

It goes without saying the Colorado Buffaloes new head coach Deion Sanders — or Coach Prime as he likes to be referred to — has sent shockwaves throughout the college football landscape. After Sanders came into Boulder, CO, he gave the Buffaloes, who finished with only one win a last season, a complete facelift. So much so that no one quite knows how to prepare for this season's Colorado team. Because not only is there a new head coach and fellow staff, but there's a whole entire new roster, from top to bottom, with very little remnants left of last years team.

Head coach Sonny Dykes has alluded to this himself, saying that you might as well through any film out from last year concerning the Buffaloes because its irrelevant to this season. And he's right. This will be the biggest advantage to Sanders in year one at Colorado, and a huge disadvantage for someone like Dykes and TCU, who will be facing them in the very first game of the season.

3. TCU will not make the Big 12 Championship again

In my Texas football bold predictions piece, I anticipated that the Longhorns would not only reach the Big 12 Championship but would also emerge as the outright winners. So, who would stand as their opponent? Well, it won't be the Horned Frogs. I believe that despite some promising additions from the transfer portal this season, the Horned Frogs have faced substantial losses from the previous year. This could pose a significant hurdle in their quest to return to the conference game. While they might still secure multiple victories, considering the fairly manageable schedule, their encounter with the Longhorns will take place only once this season. This regular season match is scheduled for November 11, hosted by the Horned Frogs at home in Fort Worth.
