The TCU football team is 17th in the preseason USA Today poll, representing its highest preseason ranking since 1960 when it was 11th.
It's the fifth time since 2000 that TCU has been ranked in the preseason.The previous four occasions saw the Frogs no higher than 20th.
TCU, with an 11-2 record, was ranked seventh in last year's final Associated Press and USA Today polls. It was the fourth time in the last six seasons the Frogs reached 11 wins.
TCU opens the 2009 campaign on Sept. 12 at Virginia. The Frogs are one of just two teams in the nation to have an open date on Sept. 5.
Three Mountain West Conference teams are ranked. Utah is 18th with BYU at No. 24.
