Guys, guys, lets be honest. TCU IS THE BEST IN THE CONFERENCE THIS YEAR!!! THEY HELD THE COUGARS TO 7 AND ONLY LOST ON THE ROAD TO UTAH BECAUSE OF STUDPID MISSED FIELD GOALS. 9/10 GAMES THEY WIN AGAINST BOTH UTES AND COUGS.


TCU SHOULD BE GOING TO THE BCS THIS YEAR. UTAH WILL MAKE THE MOUNTAIN WEST LOOK WEAK WHEN THEY LOSE 65-10 AND HAVE 4 SACKS ON JOHNSON.

I have no idea if Utah will play Alabama in the Sugar Bowl as many predict; but, if so, the game will be competitive unless the extra two weeks off that Utah has compared to Alabama (last game for Utah 11/22, last game for Alabama 12/6) makes Utah rusty.

Alabama had trouble with LSU (overtime), beat Kentucky by only 3 points and beat Mississippi by only 4 points. Overall, Utah is better than those three teams.

I think Alabama would beat Utah because of Alabama's O-Line and D-Line strength. Plus, New Orleans is a lot closer to Alabama than it is to Utah and Alabama fans travel well so it would be virtually a home game for Alabama. But Utah would keep it close and if their offensive timing is still intact after such a long layoff they could even squeeze out a win. Despite being a Texas transplant and Baylor alum, I would love to see Utah beat Alabama. People here in Utah don't know much about it, but there is a huge SEC arrogance and I like seeing SEC teams lose any out-of-conference games they play.

Also, pray for my Bears against TTech -- they need the help.

Great idea...Let's not use games to decide who's the best team, let's use judges. "And Maxine Hall's score... 3.1 That's gonna cost them on their all-around score." PS Did you catch TCU and Colorado State? I still don't know what's been more satisfying, watching teary eyed cougs leave the game 20 minutes early, or reading the desperate posts of before mentioned cougs trying to rationalize the death of their "Quest." There's always next year guys...there's always next year.
