From a frog fan, congratulations on your well deserved invitation. Poor tcu? That must be faux sympathy all things considered. Smu has an easy path to a bcs game. The fight isnt over. The system is not sustainable when 8-4 big east teams get a major payday when 9-3 sec teams go to a minor bowl.

Not doubt that TCU is in a MUCH better place right now, it's just got to rub them the wrong way that we get an invite to a BCS conference after only two and a half years of marginal success when it took an unbelievable 12 year run by them to finally get an invite to a BCS conference. Of course it has everything to do with timing and the insane, unstable landscape of college athletics today but still.....they did it the right and we've kind of backed our way in.
I got it the 1st time LA and I agree with you.
Up until just a few days ago, the best they could do was a BE bid, which in itself was a big accomplishment, now we have done the same but with a lot less effort.
Their 'we are BCS, SMU is not' routine, which I suspect they were very happy with, didn't last too long did it?????

Doesnt Big 12 also limit non-qualifiers? I think that will change the TCU recruiting landscape at the same time they get very tough weekly competition.
stallion or someone who knows - what is the BE position on non qualifiers?
