SMU vs Nevada/TCU vs Boise State

When SMU defeats Nevada (which lost to Boise State) and TCU loses to Boise State (which defeated Nevada), will that mean that SMU is actually a better team than TCU in a bowl game situation?
I find it ironic that the bowl match-ups turned out this way but, in the grand scheme of things, isn't that the way the football gods intended it?
