Schlabach (ESPN): Boise State needs TCU to Lose

"The Broncos are No. 4 in the BCS standings, but it's hard to imagine them going any higher because of their future schedule strength (104th, according to the NCAA). They lost 17 points in the coaches' poll last week, even after winning at Tulsa 28-21."

"The good news for Boise State? It has seven more chances to impress voters and the computers (the Broncos play a 13-game regular-season schedule because they play at Hawaii). The bad news? Its remaining seven opponents have a combined record of 19-25."

"Boise State really needs No. 8 TCU to lose. The Horned Frogs would probably pass the Broncos in the BCS standings if they win at No. 16 BYU on Saturday and beat No. 18 Utah at home Nov. 14."

Hope you're cheering for the Cougars this Saturday ... ESPN's GameDay coverage will be from Provo.

Gameday in Provo

That is almost worth a road trip. Almost… That would be a great place to hold up a HUGE Boise State sign!

My facebook status:

Wow. College Gameday in Provo for TCU/BYU game… and it won’t even be televised by ESPN. Do I smell “TCU is more worthy” propaganda? Maybe so, but it’s the media. What’r you going to do?

Yes. Let the propaganda begin!

My favorite part:

1. Could we have an Alabama-Florida rematch in Pasadena?

It seems unlikely, and Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany might threaten secession from the BCS if it happened. The last such scenario happened in 2006, when No. 1 Ohio State defeated No. 2 Michigan 42-39 in the teams’ regular-season finale.

If we can start getting some of the BCS conferences dissatisfied with the BCS, we might start seeing changes!
