How can Oregon stop TCU?

[SBR_John]

As Wtt said. lets talk this time next week. How they do against Utah will kind of prove to us all if they should play for a National Title. They are a 6 point favorite on the road this week which is impressive but they need to win by 20+ to show the world they belong in one on the two top slots.

One of the two teams for the final game will be form SEC.

Not much value in any of these.

[kbsnoles]

Number1) TCU is overrated. Number 2) TCU will not make the title game. A one loss team from any of the bcs confreences will make it over them. Number 3) If they did somehow make it in Oregon would beat them 70-28. Number 4) If a non qualifier wants to ever make the big game they need to schedule atleast 3 non conference game with teams from the sec, acc, or the big ten. I think they are way over rated and if you put TCU or Boise State in the sec, acc, or big ten they would be easyly a 3 to 4 loss team.

Of course not, those are lines from Greek...
and they don't give you a dream world like Brock.

[foutty25]

Let's go tcu

[EaglesPhan36]

Oregon would score no less than 60 on TCU

I would take UNDER 60 for a zillion dollars.

[MendozaLine]

oh really nostradamus?

Yeah this will be the matchup for the NCG

[MendozaLine]

Boise cant hold off TCU. If TCU runs the table, they'll have wins against Oregon State, Baylor, and @ Utah. They also play in a tougher conference.

If Virginia Tech goes undefeated the rest of the way (a very good possibility), then NCG will probably be Oregon vs. Boise State.

It will all come down to Va Tech finishing ahead of the highest rated FBS team TCU will have beaten (Baylor?).

[jpb383]

oh really nostradamus?

Ya rly

[rm18]

What do you guys project the line as? I say Oregon -3

[brxbmbers42]

How could tcu of not wanted to be in that bowl game against boise. That's bullshit who the fukk do they think they are. Tcu should be happy with that bowl game. They are tcu. Florida didn't want to be there to play cincy but they still won by 14 touchdowns.georgia was disappointed with hawaii bowl game but they still kicked the everloving shit out of them. That is a bullshit excuse. Dalton is a big choker. That boise game might have only been a 7pt game but they never had a shot. I watched the whole game. Boise might as well of won by 30. It felt like a 30 point win,

[thebestthereis]

you have tcu hire lane kiffin, tcu stopped on the spot.

TCU beat Boise in a bowl game the year before, that si the absolute last team they want ed to play. TCU wanted a title shot but if not that at least a chance to play a big conference school like a Georgia Tech.

You can't discount Boise State, their win over Va Tech may turn out to be better than any win on TCU's schedule. Alabama won't leapfrog either the "little" two if either finishes unbeaten. It might have been different if Alabama lost to a better team than South Carolina, but it is what it is. And by the way, every post in this thread assumes that Alabama will beat Auburn, which I happen to agree with. BUT, is Auburn beats Alabama, then there will probably be no choice but to make the NCG Oregon vs. Auburn, which would suck because Auburn is not really one of the two best teams in the country, but again, it is what it is.

First - Alabama finishing 12-1 will jump Boise St and TCU, and it won't even be close. Remember, for Alabama to go 12-1 they would add wins against LSU, Miss St, and Auburn... all 3 of which will be "better" wins than Va Tech (at least from the computers perspective, if computers have perspectives??) and all 3 should finish in the BCS top 20, with Auburn most likely being a top 10. Alabama will grab most of the voters votes plus have most of the computers votes. So, assuming it's a 12-1 Alabama team (which I agree with you is no where near a lock) it will be them versus 12-0 Oregon.

TCU - would be in a dog fight with Boise, mainly because voters would probably side slightly with Boise due to them being the chosen ones for the little guy, and the computer ranking will probably be similarly close, with a slight edge going to TCU. Since humans' make up 2/3, I'd lean to Boise slipping buy them... but if it is between those two, it'll come down to style points - which IMO is BS, but is something Boise will probably get due to their last game being Nevada and they'll know what they have to do...

Long story short - if Bama is 12-1, they are in. I'll wager any thing you want, but that is as close to a fact as it gets. Auburn has to go 13-0 to get in, but they are guaranteed a spot if they do. Boise & TCU will come down to the voters if both those lose, which may just open up a door for a 12-1 OK/Nebraska team to back door their way in.

Rm I am not disputing tcu top level team. I am just saying there is something about dalton. Every big game I have seen him play in he looks scared and shook.even against oregon state at cowboys stadium this year he had two or three bad turnovers. They were so much better than or state they were able to overcome it.he can't handle the bright lights.

[james4512]

TCU was way way more talented than boise last year, if you watched the game TCU was the much better team but boise's coach prepared his team 10x better a trick play here and a trick play there and they snuck out the win. If TCU's coach wasnt such an arrogant idiot they would have beat boise last year, with that being said boise is better than TCU this year

[BettingWizard]

Oregon would score no less than 60 on TCU

Nobody in college football history would score 60 on TCU

[stlblues]

Big time matchup against Utah....both teams coming off of tough conference games in the mountain west.......oh they aren't? whoops

[HoldEmHook!!]

oregon vs tcu would be interesting. Tcu has an outstanding defense, and I think people just leave them out of discussions but they should't. They have a defense comparable to Alabama last year. I being a Tennessee Tech Allum went to the TCU=tech game earlier in the year and yes Tennessee Tech sucks Granted but the TCU defense is fast and big. They are right there with all the SEC defenses. The thing is Oregon and Auburn look dominate and why? Because they have outstanding offenses and that is what sticks out in peoples minds. Auburn puts up 50 on teams and people are like wow, but what they failed to realize is that they give up 40 to lower caliber teams. Oregon is the same way. There defense is not the best, and they have played well in second half. I really think TCU is the third best team in the country. I feel if Auburn or Oregon slips up then TCU should play in the title. This week will be TCU's test. They get undefeated and 6th ranked Utah. If they win this game easily then people have to start giving them respect. I really think Auburn gets beat and I don't think Oregon will lose a game. I think TCU will get teh chance to play Oregon. The funny thing is I think Auburn gets beat and Oregon won't but I think Auburn is the better team then Oregon. They just don't have much left on their schedule. It would be fun to see this defense go against Oregon.

Auburns defense is not very good I agree, But Oregons defense is on the field more than thier offense due to the quick scoring which makes them tired IMO........IF Bama has 1 loss and Auburn is undefeated in the iron bowl and the winner of this game wins the SEC championship that team will be in the championship. so if Oregon stays undefeated. TCU is not an automatic to make the big game

[rm18]

I don't think Alabama will jump TCU or Boise. yes they will have two big wins but TCU will have one big win as well, at Utah is actually a harder game that at LSU or Auburn on a neutral field. I'm not sure if Boise can beat Hawaii and Nevada but if they do those are two big wins over top 30 teams.

[jpb383]

needs more analysis

[LINE-crush-ER]

this is not going to happen
sec has won the last 4 national championships
its been proven time after time with a one loss sec team will not embarrass the BCS when given the chance

no way they let a boise utah or tcu come in and get clobbered by 40 points to Oregon
Bcs contract will never be renewed this is their lively hood /paychecks
I think they will make the right choice in a one loss sec team or Auburn

[madworld]

TCU will struggle this week vs. Utah. Utah was definetly looking ahead to this week and struggled against Air Force. Their offense this year is better than 08 when they beat Alabama and I believe their defense is too, but that is the major ? for me. I believe Utah will win this week, but if not TCU only wins by a field goal or less.

[mighty maron]

I do not think Oregon can be stopped

[sweethook]

I do not think Oregon can be stopped

100% they win it all

[NYSportsGuy210]

Boise St. vs. Oregon would be the better match up IMO. Oregon still probably beats them 54-38 or something to that liking.

Also Utah is very overrated. They will be exposed by TCU's defense this week.

[iQon]

It's the other way around. TCU's defense will be worn out in the 2nd half, like everyone else.

Also, holding AF to 7 points is irrelevant. They play them every year. Big difference between TCU and the major D1 conferences who get gashed by the military schools.

[EaglesPhan36]

tcu 24
utah 20

[linedrivr]

TCU could lose at Utah this week.

I agree. I think they DO lose this week @ Utah.

and another true example that it's all about the money and ratings verses getting a true national champion via a playoff system. The only sport that I know of that votes in a champion verses settling it on the field in a playoff system. It's fraudulent!
