TCU coach Sonny Dykes praised his team Thursday for successfully navigating a difficult Big 12 schedule and reaching the College Football Playoff.
But in doing so, he sideswiped the mighty Southeastern Conference.
At a news conference in advance of Saturday’s CFP national semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl, Dykes highlighted the challenge of a schedule in which his team played 11 consecutive weeks from Sept. 24 to Dec. 3. He then contrasted that slate to the SEC, where teams often schedule an FCS opponent late in the season.
