As a result, TCU is ranked in the top 10 for the first time in 41 years. You wouldn't know it by taking a head count at home games. Only 30,762 people saw the Horned Stdf f Fro8s defeat the Rice 0w!s 37"° Saturday PClitoriol — TCU's first victory against Rice in their past five contests. It was the smallest attendance of the Horned Frog's four home games this season. On Homecom- ing weekend, no less. What else does it take to get fans to support the home team? An undefeated season? Check. A Heisman Trophy candidate? Check. Good weather? Check. All three ingredients were available Saturday afternoon, but still the "fans" didn't show. TCU probably needs to finish in the top six in the final BCS rankings to clinch a spot in one of the four BCS games. Should they not finish among the nation's top six teams, the Frogs need to be ranked in the top 12. John Araujo/SKIFF STAFF One of the factors the four BCS bowl games consider when selecting at-large teams is fan attendance.
