AT LAST: TCU

United Press International
NEW YORK — Texas Chris
tian and Cal State-Fullerton
aren’t teams you normally think
of as Top 20 material, but they
certainly have the credentials to
be there.
In the latest voting by the UPI
Board of Coaches, TCU showed
up 19th and Fullerton 20th. It
was TCU’s first appearance in the
Top 20 since the Horned Frogs
were ranked No. 8 in 1959. This
is the first time Fullerton has ever
been ranked since moving up
from Division II in 1974.
The top of the rankings
weren’t so surprising.
Washington is ranked first for
} the third straight week and Texas
is No. 2.
The Huskies received 26 of 42
; first-place votes and 608 total
| points after a 28-12 win over Ari
zona. No. 2 Texas, which had
been No. 1 for two weeks earlier
in the season, received nine first-
place votes and 571 points after a
13-7 victory over Southern Meth
odist that knocked the Mustangs
out of the Top 20.
I No. 3 Brigham Young, No. 4
j Nebraska and No. 5 South Caro-
[lina benefitted from a Kansas up-
|set of Oklahoma to move up.
BYU received five first-place
[votes and 523 points, Nebraska
[got two first-place votes and 519
points and South Carolina
[jumped three spots with 423
I points.
j TCU is 6-1, including four
[straight victories, and leads the
[nation in total offense, rushing
[offense and scoring offense. The
[Southwest Conference school av-
lerages 397.4 yards (323.3 rush-
ling) and 38.6 points per game.
[ Fullerton, among just five un
beaten Division I-A schools in the
nation at 9-0, is ranked for the
first time ever. The Titans moved
up from Division I in 1974 and
are the only Pacific Coast Athletic
Association team in the Top 20.
