$ – Conference champion Rankings from AP Poll

TCU began the 2006 season with high expectations. After a 2005 season where the TCU Horned Frogs lost only one game and won the Mountain West Conference championship, nothing less was expected of the Frogs in 2006. The season would start with two old Southwest Conference foes, Baylor and Texas Tech. The Frogs would have most of their offense from 2005 returning minus All-American Cory Rodgers who was drafted by the NFL.
