Stanford barely won at ASU, needed a late score, Stanford is something to be concerned with, they cannot jump us, if Boise jumps us and Stanford wins out they will get picked ahead of us potentially
Bottom line is TCU survived and has played 11 and finish with terrible team and given our injury situation thats a good thing... lets see how it plays out

Eh, lets say Cal makes that FG and is up by 1. Oregon was well within striking distance with TOs left at the end of the game. I think they would have ended up scoring another TD.

Ironically Oregon holding on to win by 2 has already helped us more than if CAL had won. It's kind of hard for the BCS shills to hold a 5 point win against us at the same time they prop up Oregon's 2 point win as a mark of a good team. If the Oregon Cal game had been a couple of weeks ago they would be blasting us, however on the same day, they can't.

Absolutely agree. Stanford has ONE chance, the Rose Bowl. There is a zero percent chance that either the Sugar or Orange takes them and at best a very very slim chance the Fiesta might.

The voters love Oregon right now, so do the talking heads. With a loss, Oregon would have dropped to 5 or 6. TCU would have been crucified for a 5 point win and Boise probably would have jumped us in the polls. With the 2 point win, Oregon is already being praised for doing what it had to do to stay unbeaten. It is a Little difficult for the talking heads to then immediately start talking about TCU being overrated for only beating SDSU by 5. Although I suppose they could wait until after a commercial break and do it figuring no one would remember what they had just said about Oregon.

The problem with that is that the "voters" and the "talking heads" are two different groups of people.

You don't think the voters are influenced by the talking heads? Even a bit?

I think the difference was 6 points, maybe 5.
