The Case for TCU
TCU handled two legitimate top 25 teams- BYU and Utah, and beating a Clemson team on the road that came within one play of being ACC Champion. They had only two close games all year- at Air Force and at Clemson. Texas beat two ranked teams in my current Top 25- Texas Tech who barely skated in and Okla St., who I have considered a bit overrated much of the year and who laid a complete egg just one week ago. They played close games against Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Texas AM, and Nebraska. And they won that Nebraska game by the slimmest of margins in a “neutral” stadium within their own state. TCU has done it on the road, it has scheduled strong non-conference games, and it has taken on all comers.
P.S.- TCU and Boise St is a travesty. Whoever wins will just claim the title of “BCS conferences give not respect Bowl”. If you really want to know how good those teams are, given them a true neutral site shot against Florida, Cincinnati, or Georgia Tech.
What I Like – About MY Poll
I like my whole top ten. Alabama separated themselves with a big win, and TCU stayed ahead of Texas by the slimmest of margins. Florida fell below Boise st but stayed above OSU and Oregon- a good test of my forumula. Really go back and look at what teams achieved throughout the entire year, not just how you think they might be playing right now, and I’ll put these up against anyone.
What I Don’t Like
Oregon St at 28 and Nebraska at 30. Both had some tough losses early, and I don’t want to forget about those, but both also showed very strongly against top teams late in the season, and I think they should be in the Top 25.
