This would be an awesome trip if it comes to be.

Exactly. The Big Ten champ is going to the Rose Bowl under most reasonable scenarios, as is the Pac-10 champ. While TCU might end up at the Rose Bowl, if, and only if, Oregon runs the table, Oregon has a number of tough games upcoming and will likely drop 1, if not 2. Of course, if Oregon drops two games, it opens the door back open for Stanford.....

Only likely chance at this point is Mich. State running the table, and a whole lot of other people losing. Oh.St is very unlikely to get there with a loss and if Mich St runs the table they still have to get past several SEC teams and/or Oregon.

It is the Rose Bowl's turn to take the top ranked non-auto bid school if there is one that qualifies and it is not in the championship game.

Was looking at the SI crew's projections for BCS bowls:

One that struck me as making sense was Andy Staples projecting the Utes to the Rose Bowl. You've got to think that the Tournament of Roses committee will be among the biggest Utah fans on November 6. While Boise would get the Rose Bowl off the hook for this year by making the championship game, I could see the Rose taking the opportunity to remove itself from the hook for future years by inviting a 12-0 non-AQ team that will become "one of its own" in its very next game. Thus protecting the sanctity of its precious PAC-Big Ten rivalry.
Course, they have to hope Oregon wins out as well and makes the NC game.

TCU has never played in the Rose Bowl, but has played in the Fiesta, Sugar and Orange. Need a complete set. (Though we have not won a Fiesta Bowl yet)

The Oregon O looks good, but UCLA isn't exactly testing the D.
Would Josh Huff have been playing this much if he'd stuck with TCU?
