00:00It's the ACC's Stanford and the Big 12's TCU. The Horned Frogs make the trip out to California.
00:12They're nearly a double-digit favorite, laying nine and a half, or eight and a half rather,
00:16excuse me, as of this moment against the Cardinal. 59 and a hook is the number. Of course, the
00:22RSTCU two years ago. National runner-ups, yeah, they got blown out by Georgia, but still
00:27made it to the national championship game. Last year, entered the year ranked, lost as
00:32a three-touchdown favorite at home against the Yon-Sanders and Colorado, and really never
00:37found their footing in year number two under Sonny Dykes, a losing record at five and seven.
00:43How does TCU kick off year number three under Dykes out in Palo Alto tonight?
00:48Yeah, heavy public favorite too, by the way, for TCU. Just looking at some of the markets
00:52there, as high as seven out of every 10 tickets coming in on TCU. That line opened up, Ben,
00:56at Fandul at eight and a half. Where is it set this morning? Still at eight and a half,
00:59so no real movement here. The total moves slightly, 60 and a half on that opening number
01:04at Fandul, now down to 59 and a half. You wouldn't be led to believe that TCU is the
01:09better pedigree program at this point, but sometimes you see week number one on the road,
01:14things don't always work to your favor at this point, but we're not talking about those
01:17Stanford days where they were way on top of the building block now. Now you're just trying
01:21to find out which conference Stanford's in, as opposed to them being something on the
01:25national prominence of, oh yeah, this team can win a lot of games and challenge for a
01:29conference championship. That's not going to happen. I think TCU probably should be
01:32able to win this game by double digits.
