The first games are in the books, and for those teams that survived the tough tests of the opening weekend there are just eleven more hurdles left to clear on the road toward becoming a BCS Buster. Several teams lost their best chance to emerge on the radar… and as we all know, even one defeat is the bane of a BCS Buster’s existence.
Therein lies the difference for non-AQ schools and all others. Take the fortunes of the two teams expected... Read More

Maybe Casey Pachall will prove to be the young man to succeed Andy Dalton with distinction as TCU heads into a new era of its storied history. He certainly showed glimpses of greatness in leading the team back from 24 down in crunch time to take the lead late. But when his final pass of the night flew into the hands not of a Horned Frog receiver but Baylor safety Mike Hicks in the closing seconds, he started his career 0-1.
TCU must now rebound and... Read More

The changing conference landscape has made for an interesting new situation. Gone from the picture (but not forgotten) is the original BCS Buster, Utah, who has graduated to AQ status with a spot in the expanded Pac-12. No longer will perfection be the measuring stick and one of the secondary BCS bowls their highest final destination; now all Kyle Whittingham’s team will have to do is win their division, and then the conference title game, and...

The 2010 college football season is over. On Monday night, the Auburn Tigers claimed the BCS National Championship, the fifth straight for the SEC, by defeating the Oregon Ducks 22-19 on a game-winning kick by Wes Byrum. Auburn finished the regular season undefeated and took home an undisputed National Championship.
But wait.
Lurking in the shadows, the TCU Horned Frogs also completed an undefeated season with an impressive win over Wisconsin in the... Read More
