Baseball Poll Watching Week 11: TCU Remains Ranked in Three Polls

The TCU Horned Frogs (29-12, 12-6 Big 12) have fluctuated in and out of the polls all season. Last week, after a sweep of Kansas, they were ranked in all five polls, including one as high as No. 15.

Last week, TCU went 1-3, including an extra-inning loss to a good DBU team and losing to UCF, their first conference series since the first week of conference play in March.

This week, though, the Horned Frogs are ranked No. 23 in two of the polls, and are receiving votes in three others.
