Boise State is better than TCU. A missed field goal against Nevada cost BSU a trip to Pasadena.

BSU were 14 pt favorites and were up 24-7 at half. You blame their loss on a missed field goal?

Michigan State, Ohio State, and Wisconsin all tied at the top of the Big 10 standings.
Michigan State also played on Saturday. And they lost by 42. It would have been similar pickings for the other two, and TCU.
... You clearly didn't pay attention to the Big Ten during the regular season. Wisconsin wasn't that good... at the beginning of the year. (See all of their games before Ohio State). That was when they played and lost to Michigan State at Michigan State by one touchdown. Michigan State then needed a fake punt to pull a miracle AT HOME vs. Northwestern, needed a dropped ball by an untouched wide receiver in the end zone in the final minute to beat Indiana, and got absolutely destroyed by Iowa. They never played Ohio State. They were waaaaayyyy overated (probably the 5th best team in the Big Ten, behind not only Ohio State and Wisconsin but Iowa and Northwestern as well). Don't compare Ohio State and Wisconsin to Michigan State. If Michigan State had played Wisconsin or Ohio State at the end of the year, they would have been blown out, just like they were by Iowa and Alabama.
Watch that Rose Bowl game again. Count the unforced dropped balls by both teams. Count the fumbles. Count the errant passes. Not many for a college game? Weird, its almost like it was actually good football.
Remember that the only Big Ten Team that has faced an opponent who wasn't favored in the rankings in the bowl games this year was Michigan State, and anyone who had seen them play in a game this year knew they were overrated.
That's what's so silly about polls, rankings, and seedings. It's all speculation based and judgemental. Just like the rants on this thread. Pure conjecture. Some more plausible than others.
We need a NCAA playoffs with 11 Conference Champs and 1 Independent Champ. A 12 team playoff, 1st week: 8 games, 4 byes, 2nd: 8 games, 3rd: 4 games, 4th: NCAA NC game. Losers have the option of playing a legacy bowl game if you are invited (bowls are not governed by the NCAA).
Opps, I meant ---v
A 12 team playoff, 1st week: 4 games, 4 byes by blind draw, 2nd: 4 games, 3rd: 2 games, 4th: NCAA NC game
Michigan State also went into OT with NOTRE DAME! and pulled off a fake field goal to win.
I dont find anything credible with the "any team can get up for one game" excuse. TCU, Boise, and Utah almost continually win those games. If who they played was so much better then they should still win. Period.

If you think TCU deserves to play for the NC, which of Oregon and Auburn do you think they should be playing in place of?
Auburn. The SEC has been great the past few years but this was not a good year for the conference. Overrated. As usual the entire conference pretty much played nobody out of conference.
So by beating one Big 10 team in one season, TCU is bigger than the Big 10 in the past, present and future? What else are you learning at your d1-aa high school?

Yak Yak Yak...
Don't mean a thing
We need an NCAA NC and a playoffs, 12 teams, one per conference, puls one independent. NCAA NC game on Jan 1.
Final ratings. TCU finished fourth. Note SOS. Also, I always said I think Stanford beats Oregon at the end of the season, particularly at a neutral site:
those arent the official final rankings. the official one is the bsc ranking, where TCU finished 2nd to Auburn. btw-those rankings r terrible, whoever composed that shit is a joke---how is a 3-loss bama nearly ahead of TCU?? wtf, so many idiots around college football.

I believe the "idiot" is Jeff Sagarin, who has a degree in math from MIT. oh btw, he also puts together men's college basketball rankings and decides who goes to the beloved NCAA D1 Men's Basketball tournament, which im sure you think should be implemented in football
These ratings are imputed in the BCS rankings. Of course, we have no way to prove it, but I'd take three-loss Alabama over undefeated TCU four out of every five times they played.
It doesn't matter what you think, what I think, or what Hollyweird Homo TV Execs think ? It only matters who wins a fair playoffs brackets in sports. NCAA DI-A FB doesn't have a brackets and a National Championship. There has never been one NCAA DI-A National Champion in 140 years of college football.
