Lets just remind everybody of how brutal a schedule TCU had this year:

Virginia, Texas State, Clemson, Southern Methodist, Air Force, Colorado State, Brigham Young, UNLV, San Diego State, (16) Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico.

Honestly, I forgot SMU had a program again...and who knew UNLV had a football team?

I was honestly worried that ‘Bama would have to play Cincinnati...they scare me. TCU - nope.

Have you watched TCU? Obviously not or you wouldn't be so dismissive of them. The Horned Frog's offense is the equal of Cincinnati's but their defense is far better than the Bearcats'.

BTW, how did your big bad Crimson Tide do last time they played a Mountain West team? Didn't Alabama open 2009 by getting slapped around 31-17 by Utah in the Sugar Bowl? I have a couple of friends who are really into Mountain West football and I asked them how the 2008 Utah team compares with the 2009 TCU team. They both responded that this year's TCU is far better (and one of the guys is a big Running Utes fan).

Allow me to make a few corrections for you:

Virginia, Texas State, Clemson (bowl team... they beat #10 Miami, lost by 5 to GT), Southern Methodist (bowl team), Air Force (bowl team), Colorado State, (16) Brigham Young (bowl team), UNLV, San Diego State, (16) Utah (bowl team), Wyoming (bowl team), New Mexico.

As noted by another person, the TCU team this year is much better than the Utah team last year. Yes, that same Utah team that whallopped your 'Bama in the Sugar Bowl...

I'm growing a little tired of the typical SEC rant "go play with us for 10 years, and THEN we will see if you deserve to be there." No... the championship is for who played great and won THIS YEAR, not who plays great and wins OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.
