This game has become very reminiscent of the "97 matchup.
How and Why you ask?
Back then SMU vs. (0-10) TCU with a bowl game on the line-
Outcome TCU wins unexpectantly and begins there dominance for the next decade, as a model for Non-BCS teams!
10 years later TCU 1-2 vs SMU 1-2 (how did we ever win one?)
a much heralded TCU team many picked to break the BCS this year has their season and future on th line much like we did back in "97 a loss to SMU would be demoralizing and would begin a shame spiral
meanwhile a victory here saves a season and possibly a coach's future-
How will it play out...........?
