    It appears he's actually in the mix for Wisconsin's HC job... no joke.

        • Baylor beat TCU by 3 points at home. 3 points is the recognized norm for home field advantage. Dallas sportswriters ate swinging my way. Don't schedule patseys for non-conference games.

          • Wisconsin gets former assistant HC Paul Chryst. Yes, he wasn't lighting the world on fire at Pitt - but he inherited quite a mess. I think he'll do good in Wisconsin.

            • Between Wisconsin, Nebraska and Oregon State, I'd say Nebraska made out the worst.

              • Number 1 bowl game? Peach bowl, yo. Rated above both 'playoff' games.

                Good luck fighting for the national championship TCU!

                • Baylor offense vs. Michigan State defense should be pretty good, too.

                        If you think the ratings for that will be higher than the actual championship game you are more delusional than I thought. And that would be pretty bad.

                        • He's not talking about TV ratings, rah. He's actually claiming the level of competition is superior to the two games that have meaning, and using that to suggest that there is some scenario in which TCU ends up as national champs. It's a little reminiscent of the year the Chargers failed to make the playoffs, but Ben tried to make the case that they were the 2nd best team in the NFL.

                            It's not just my opinion. Highest rated bowl game is the Peach in terms of expected competition. They rank both 'playoff games' very low, because they don't expect much from either Ohio State or the Seminoles, which suggests very clearly that the real top 4 includes TCU + Baylor.

                            Starting from that premise, and the fact that Ole Miss defeated Bama, TCU has a serious case for the national championship if they win, regardless of the playoffs.

                            It's an unfortunate result for Bama and Oregon, but that's what happens when you exclude the number 2 team in the country.

                            That was the year they were 1st on offense and 1st on defense. It's the only time that's ever happened and Norv Turner's got that on his resume.

                            TCU over Oregon is arguable. Ohio State over TCU is not. The bookies don't believe it and nobody actually believes Ohio State is the better team.
