FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU hopped around quite a bit before landing in the Big 12. The Horned Frogs won or shared titles in three different leagues over 16 seasons after the old Southwest Conference disbanded in the mid-1990s. They played from the East Coast to Hawaii, with stops in the Western Athletic Conference, Conference USA and the Mountain West before joining the Big 12 in 2012. The Frogs play undefeated defending champion Georgia in the national title game Monday night.
