TCU closes in on Boise State and is now only 2 spots behind them in the coaches poll with Boise at #5. With a big game against BYU next week the Horned Frogs could leap over Boise State already with one more big game against Utah on November 14th to secure their spot as the BCS Buster for 2009.

Look for the BCS standings to come out later today.

Interesting note

Is that the undefeated and current Big 10 leader Iowa is behind two non-BCS teams in Boise State and TCU. Also, the way Utah shot up the polls I find it conceivable that if Boise loses a game that if either Utah, BYU, or TCU win out they will go to a BCS game with one loss. Well, except for TCU who I think will jump Boise if they are able to win out because they play #16 BYU next and if Utah keeps winning they will be possibly top 15 in a few weeks.

it is slowly happening. the usa today coaches poll is the most important to me.

they have tcu at #7 wait till tcu beatsdown byu and we pass an undefeated big east team and big ten team. the mwc is making believers out of the coaches who know football the best. utah could be as high as number 10 when tcu plays them. penn state is still the most over-rated team in america. there best win is over minnesota in an icy snowy game on their homefield. it was also homecoming game for them. they will drop like a rock in the next few weeks. it would also help that clemson and virgina keep winning which they have done lately b/c that is the two road bcs victories tcu has peace.
