Texas Christian University’s accomplishments on the football field this season were not enough to convince the selection committee to keep TCU ranked at No. 3 in the College Football Playoff.
Now, the team won't have a shot at the national championship that's going to be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
“It hurts,” said Trey Harrington. “I thought for sure we were in.”
But this year, TCU football will not be playing the inaugural College Football Playoff.
“I’m definitely, really disappointed in that,” said Jordan Talley, a sophomore at TCU. “I really want to be a part of history.”

“It's a great season, but we really want to be in the playoff,” said Guillermo Salena.
