ESPN's GameDay Making Third Appearance to the Mountain West With Visit to TCU

ESPN GameDay is heading once again to a Mountain West school; this time they will be in Fort Worth for when TCU takes on Utah. The decision was down between Utah/TCU or Iowa/Ohio State but since Iowa lost that game has lost some luster and now the GameDay crew is heading to Fort Worth.
This game has huge implications for both, because a TCU win nearly insures they are going to a BCS game. Playing games at Wyoming and against New Mexico are nearly formalities. This also has big implications for Utah, because if they pull of the upset and Boise State loses they will be the highest rated non-BCS team (I am assuming a one loss Utes will stay ahead of a potential 12-1 Houston).
This appearance to a Mountain West schools is the third on the year and ties for the most with the Big XII. This game is not on ESPN, but rather CBS College Sports so check your tv provider to see if you get this game, if you do not go somewhere and watch the game.

there is one problem, tcu at number 4 is right. utah fell two places when they beat up
new mexico. tcu still has to play new mexico. hopefully clemson beats maryland and n.c. state(that should be easy) and gets to the acc championshiop game vs georgia tech. tcu needs clemson to win acc conference for them to stay at four. it’s obvious to me playing new mexico is a poll killer. new mexico you suck zhit. now there bringing down the whole mwc.

I saw that
The computers really docked Utah for playing New Mexico. TCU Plays UNM and Wyoming after Utah, while Cincy has #9 Pitt, #25 WVU and Illinois
how does that sorry azz offense at usc rise in the polls. matt barkley stats were like 1 quarter for case keenum
i can’t wait till arizona puts a beatdown on them. if arizona state had any offense they could have won that game. epsn will probably say usc “the best 2 loss team in the land”. give a third loss and they go away like notre dame. i like utah alot but i want what is best for the conference so i want tcu to beat utah by 21 points with college game day there. let’s see how close we can get to number #3 with that win. utah will have the horses next year and the schedule. they can go undefeated next year. this is tcu’s year.

I have been touting the conference line since last may.
“TCU is the best teams and the most likely to make the BCS this year”
In May I called for them to get in with a loss.
This week I hope they get thier loss.

Plus Oregon lost, I think that is a big reason they fell too

That is the same reason
Boise State now has the 100th out of 120th Strength of Schedule
Chargers = Aztecs
We have proof.
Wow thats bad
Should continue to get worse too

there are three sec teams in the top 8.
i guarantee they ask for three teams to goto bcs bowls. i’ll bet they get it too. when arizona beats usc we can forgot about them. three loses and your gone. i sure hope somebody beats lsu.

Interesting thought...
To get three teams in the SEC champion has to not be #1 or #2.
This would require one Alabama or Florida to lose enough to fall below LSU and win the SEC championship game. This would likely require two regular season losses.
Then LSU needs to win out and have:
Texas, TCU, Boise State, Georgia Tech, USC, the Cincinnati-Pittsburgh winner and the Iowa-Ohio State winner to all lose.
Then LSU and the SEC championship gamne loser would be #1 and #2 and the SEC champion would go to the Sugar Bowl.

There is no way the SEC title game loser ends up #1 or #2.
They’ll fall to #3 and someone else will rise up. No conference is ever getting 3 teams into the BCS unless they change the rules, which I doubt will ever happen.

same with usc. they are now above oregon
did you see that game vs arizona state. it was terrible. if asu had any offense they would have won. arizona is going ot beat usc and i think they have to play ucla, (i’ll give them that one) and stanford. we all saw what toby g. did to oregon. hopefully he can replicate it vs usc i think usc has stanford left? i would love for usc to have 4 pac-ten loses and end up in fifth place and play utah in vegas bowl. the utes would be jacked up while usc would limp in. utah could crush usc and matt barkley and his pathetic statistics. utah has already beaten usc in the vegas bowl. it was ron mcbride’s last year or second to last year as utah coach and i think it was pete caroll’s first year.

don't underestimate mike slive. there are provision's in the bcs format to get three teams in
it just has not happened. trust me i don’t want it to happen b/c i want tcu and boise state to get to goto a bcs bowl but can anybody explain to me how lsu went up one slot in the bcs poll when they lost and the 3-6 washington huskies lost and i know they have one win over a sunbelt team and maybe even two. there records are not good either.

They benefitted from a BUNCH of teams around them losing.

they lost. their best out of conference win (the huskies) lost .
guess who they play this week la. tech. their other win out of conference was their favorite target in the sunbelt. university of lousiana lafeyette. i bet if i looked up their other out of conference win it would probably be in the sunbelt. the sec schedule’s sunbelt teams all the time. the bcs just favors the sec and usc. usc moved up three places and they had their worst offensive output in 5 and 1/2 years. how can you have oregon fall below usc. oregon crushed usc and usc gets by a sorry azz ariazona state team. hopefully this week stanford and toby g romped all over suc em university.

lsu other out of conference win was powerhouse tulane at 3-6
that makes them 3-0 when they put the beatdown on louisiana.tech. that is sooo impressive. 3-0 vs your in state rivals.. that is kinda like saying ohio state beating up on the 6 teams in the mac conference that are from ohio. lsu best win is 20-13 over an unranked georgia team. utah’s resume looks better than that.
