you said they should have to play 6 BCS teams. Since that is not possible you are effectively saying they shouldn't be allowed in, a position the people that run the BCS do not share.
It is what it is.

I didn't say they were, I asked why even more teams don't do it if its so easy?
MAC/Sun Belt/C-USA teams usually have at least 1-2 decent (ie: above .500) BCS teams on their schedules and those level teams don't have the depth/talent to deal with them.
TCU has a built in advantage over most non-BCS schools in that they just happen to be in a talent-rich football city in a big talent-rich state.
Even though they aren't the topic of discussion, Boise State does the same. They find the retreads from other schools that aren't tall/heavy enough to make it at other schools or have the IQ of a peanut which prevents them from getting into a good school.
I will say this about TCU, they are definitely a better football team and have a far better all around athletic department than Smurf U. TCU is at least respectable in that regard.

Interesting tidbit:
TCU and or TCU's 2010 regular season opponents have beaten 75% of Orgeons 2010 schedule. The remaining 4 teams Orgeon played have a combined record of 23/25.
Similarly,
TCU and or TCU's 2010 regular season opponents have beaten 75% of the teams Stanford beat in 2010. The remaining teams Stanford beat in 2010 have a combined record of 21/27.
So if TCU did not belong in the Rose bowl Im not sure who did.

Um, are you talking about the same state that has 4 BCS AQ schools inside its borders, 4 BCS AQ schools just outside its borders, 4 Non AQ Division 1 schools, and multiple Divison II schools all competeing for the same players?
Yes that is such a big advantage.

I think you guys should prove your team is better than the other by visiting this site.

Man, you gotta understand. Unless you play in the SEC, you play a weak schedule and don't deserve to play in a BCS bowl. There are 0 good schools outside of the SEC. Maybe on occasion someone like USC is good but since you play in the Mountain West, it is impossible for you to compete with the prowess of the SEC. We should field SEC vs. SEC in all major bowl games.

You only need find 15-20 guys a year worth a damn in the state of 25 million people. It ain't rocket science.

Then how come your team can't do it?

We only have 4 million people
Alshon and Lattimore are from here, but we let too much talent leave the damn state

Y'all seem to be doing fine in baseball.
Maybe TCU and South Carolina will meet in Omaha this year... THAT would be an OUTSTANDING series.

I have no dea how we'll do this year. I celebrated the win for a couple of week and then focused on football.

Anybody else notice how bland Wisconsin's D was in the Rose Bowl?
I don't know if they blitzed the entire game.
Base 4-3 90% of the time. Yes they shut the run down pretty consistently, but you'd figure by half time they'd realize a 4-3 zone wasn't working on 3rd and long.
Props to TCU they were certainly the better coached team, with the better QB.
Offensively it was apparent Wisconsin would control the trenches all day long, just confused why they were using traps in obvious running situations that lead to unblocked LBs.
FWIW: If TCU had played Bama on New Years day they would have gotten smoked.

No doubt.
Pretty sure Alabama would have beaten a college all-star team the way they played in the Capital One Bowl.

LSU would be 12-0.

Yep, I'm aware. I actually do include the team in question, though. I wrestled back and forth with it for a year or two, and I've never seen it affect a team's SOS by more than four places.
xiv, while I appreciate your objective approach to the issue of schedule strength, I must point out that any system that includes the games involving the team in question in their opponent's winning percentage is an inherently flawed system, since it weakens a team's schedule strength every time it wins a game. I do realize that it's more complicated and tedious to exclude these games, but I still can't put much stock in your ranking system as long as it has this built-in flaw.

What would have happened to Auburn, Arkansas or LSU if that had played the Tide on New Year's day?

The CFBDatawarehouse ranks LSU as the #9 team of all time. While their ranking is not perfect, its a pretty good measure. USCe ranks #64 all time, TCU 32
. For the most of the 90's LSU has a flaming bag of dog poo, no denying that. But was still ranked 23 for period 75-99 per cfbdatawarehouse.com. In the 80's we were up and down, but still managed to win 2 SEC Titles (thats 2 more the USCe has ever won) and squeeze in a 10-1-1 top 5 finish which included a Gator Bowl beat down of South Carloina and Joe Morrison's vaunted "Black Death" defense. For the decade 2000-09 LSU ranks #3, USCe ranks 27.
So while the 2000's have been the Golden Age of LSU football we still had a pretty good football program historically. That's why we were able to attrach a coach like Saban and not have to settle for past their prime coaches. No need for LSU to be jealous of TCU.

I couldn't agree more. LSU fans only demean themselves when they spend so much worrying about schools like TCU and Boise State. Do you think Dan Marino obsesses about Trent Dilfer's all-time ranking among NFL quarterbacks because Dilfer has a Super Bowl ring and he doesn't. If the Horned Frogs or the Broncos were to win a crystal football, I would say more power to them unless it was against LSU.

I really wish we had it made like TCU. We should join the Sun Belt and then play Clemson and some other shitty ACC/Big East school and we would get invited to the BCS every year. Seems to be the hot new thing now.
If it's that easy, why don't more teams do it?
FWIW USCe would have been waxed by TCU.

A Patterson coached defense against Garcia would be ugly. Also, South Carolina has lifetime losing records against BOTH the Big East and ACC. In fact, they're 194-240 against the ACC and have a losing record against 7 out of the 11 teams they've played.
