TCU Movin' Up

Postby Big Hoss » Sat Nov 07, 2009 6:58 pm

With Iowa losing today to Northwestern, TCU should move up to at least #4 in the polls (assuming they hang on to their big lead). I gotta say, as much as I can't stand TCU, it would be interesting to see a non-BCS team stir the BCS pot again this year.

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm actually pulling for TCU to keep winning and do well - I know we hate to see them win, but the fact is they've done it right, built a good program, and have earned their success.

I think we're making some good strides to compete and can do everything they have done and more once we get there. At least their fans show up, cheer, and wear school colors - we drew 15k on homecoming and had 8k in the stands after halftime.

TCU is going to dominate UTAH. Has anybody noticed that TCU is No. 8 in Total Offense-where the hell did that come from. They were No. 1 in Total Defense last week-dropped to No. 3 now. And they will be decidedly better next year when they get their 5 Top RBs involved

This is what has surprised me. There was no questioning their defense but their offense has become very prolific. I do not know much about their opponents, but putting up 50+ on anyone is pretty good. I think they handle Utah easily, but then again, I thought we would handle Rice easliy and Houston would handle Tulsa easily.

TCU also jumped to 4th in the Harris Interactive-a BCS poll

BCS has come out and TCU is number 4. So what happens if Florida beats Alabama and A&M beats UT.

TCU having a shot at the BCS champ game gives all non-AQ schools hope and raises questions about the whole BCS nonsense. On that basis, go TCU.
