With its fifth win Saturday, TCU moved within one victory from being a bowl-eligible team - something head coach Gary Patterson said is now the team's main focus.For a team to be invited to a bowl game, it needs a minimum of six wins. With three games left on the schedule, TCU may still have a chance of reaching a bowl.

"This time of the year, there's not much you can talk about," Patterson said. "You've got three ball games left, and you've got to win one more to at least get bowl eligible."
