After a night of admittedly not much sleep and a whole lot of stress from many connected to the TCU program, they got to celebrate Sunday because their Horned Frogs officially punched their ticket to the College Football Playoff at No. 3 in the final rankings. TCU’s draw is No. 2 Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl, a team that is making its second appearance in a row in the CFP.
The Frogs have been comeback artists all year, but fell just short against Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game to cap off a 12–1 season. Michigan finished its first 13–0 mark with a win over Purdue in its conference championship game after capturing its one-game season over Ohio State Thanksgiving weekend. The Wolverines may be in the midst of making these Playoff appearances a habit, while TCU is more than just happy to be here.
