Very tempting to take Utah and the points. Too bad, it's on Versus and no one will watch because Bama LSU is on.

Oregon Auburn/Bama.

If Auburn and Oregon squared off, the O/U would be 92.5 (their combined ppg).

TCU has played the dregs of the MWC, it'll be interesting to see if they can stop a real offense. Wynn, baby Wynn.

This game is a prime example of why I hate the BCS if TCU goes on the road and beats Utah ranked 5th they will get no credit whatsoever from the BCS system. even though this is a higher ranked team than oregon has played this year. also they beat airforce who has had a ranking similar to USC. Who has Oregon beaten? Stanford at home when ranked 9th and USC a 5-3 team. The whole system is rigged. My only hope is that when boise and TCU (or Utah) run the table they get to play teams from the major conferences instead of each other. after they wipe the floor witht the winners of the Big 10 and Big 12 some voters will have second thoughts about voting a 1 loss SEC team or an undefeated pac-10 team ahead of them.

Boise St drubbed TCU? It was about as close a game as possible on the scoreboard, boxscore and on the field. This was the difference: "Facing a fourth-and-9 on their 33-yard line with a little less than 10 minutes to play, the Broncos executed a deft fake punt that helped them grab the lead." TCU held BSU to 317 yards(under 300 against their high powered offense) which is about the best any team has done against BSU except for TCU the year before when they had 220 more total yards and held BSU to 250 total yards. Guess TCU "drubbed" Boise St 17-16 the year before too right. Somebody ought to review what Patterson is doing because he seems to be the only one capable of shutting down their offense.

Exactly right. ESPN is already talking this week about how overrated Utah is. If we win, well Utah sucks. If we lose, they'll say we suck and not move Utah up in the rankings. I love college football but I am getting really tired of this farce...whether its happening to TCU, SMU, Utah, Boise or any other non-AQ team.

At least you will gain a lot of respect playing in an "AQ" conference like the Big East. :wink:

tcu #3 lost to #6 boise which again proves my point that tcu was overrated then and is overrated now and that any top 10 team can beat them. i must point out that utah is also overrated this year so it's not really a fair comparison in this game. to me this is more like two top 25 teams playing.

Sounds like you have 100% bought into the BCS way of thinking. I say F the bCS.

Of course any top 10 team could beat TCU - any top 10 team could beat LSU or Boise or Wisconsin or Auburn as well. Auburn could have lost to Clemson, Miss State and/or Kentucky this year. Did you think Michigan State would beat us before last weekend???
