TCU's women's basketball team is the consensus favorite to win the Big 12.
The Horned Frogs have been picked first in the Big 12 Preseason Media Poll ahead of the 2025-26 season. The poll was voted on by Big 12 and national media members.
TCU also topped the projected standings in the Big 12 Preseason Coaches' Poll.
The top-five of the media poll was a carbon copy of the results of the coaches' poll. Iowa State was tabbed second while Baylor, Oklahoma State and West Virginia were selected third through fifth.
The preseason predictions mark only the third time the Horned Frogs have ever entered a season as the top choice.
The last time TCU was picked first in a preseason coaches' poll was in 2010, when the Frogs topped the Mountain West Preseason Coaches' Poll in their final season of membership before joining the Big 12. TCU was first picked to win a conference championship in 2003-04 as a Conference USA affiliate.
TCU was picked fourth in 2024-25. The Frogs swept the Big 12 regular season and tournament championships.
In the preseason USA Today Sports Coaches' Poll, the Horned Frogs were awarded the No. 12 ranking, as the Big 12's highest-ranked team.
TCU debuted at No. 17 in The Associated Press poll.
The two preseason rankings are the highest ever in program history.
TCU opens the 2025-26 season at 4 p.m. on Nov. 6 against North Carolina A&T.
The Frogs open conference play at home on December 20, against Kansas State.
TCU has a 24-game home winning streak. It is the third-longest in college basketball.
