ESPN / Schlabach: Long layoff hurts BCS Title game

[Dogfrog]

The Horned Frogs looked more impressive in beating red-hot Wisconsin 21-19 in the Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio on New Year's Day, which now seems like ages ago.

Gary Patterson and TCU might think they deserved a title shot after Monday's game.
Auburn and Oregon looked so bad through the first three quarters Monday that I almost wondered if No. 3 TCU didn't deserve to be playing here.

But the almost-as-long Rose Bowl layoff didn't appear to affect TCU or Wisconsin. . . .

Excuses, excuses, excuses for mediocre play.
