In my opinion this year's TCU team is the best the MWC has ever produced. Unless they somehow choke on their own vomit these next 2 games I say that regardless of their bowl outcome. I honestly think they would win 10 out 10 games against every other team in the league. I don't think that was the case for Utah in 04 or 09, or for those with blue goggles BYU 01.

Why, pray tell, would a two-loss 2001 BYU team be in the running?When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

This TCU team is far and away the best MWC team thus far.
At this stage in the season, 2004 Utah wasn't anywhere near the ranking and status as TCU 2009. Also, TCU 2009 has played a much better schedule than 2004 Utah. TCU 2009 has been on GameDay twice so far this season. At this stage, 2004 Utah hadn't been on once.
Obviously if TCU loses one of its final two games, it is out of the discussion, but so far, there is no competition.
This TCU team is amazing.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I heard someone say this, and I've been debating it myself.
It comes down to the Utes of '04 and the '09 Frogs.
Yes, the Utes weren't ranked as high, but that's because the MWC didn't get the respect they are getting now. Had that '04 team started with the respect that the MWC teams are getting now, there's no doubt in my mind they would be ranked higher than they were in '04. The only real knock is that they didn't have anyone big on their schedule. TAMU was the only real name, and they pretty much stunk up the place.
That '04 team was pretty awesome. A lot of NFL players off of that team (5 I think). Still, TCU looks pretty dominant.
That'd be one helluva game either way.

The biggest thing is that TCU '09 has going for them is that no other non-BCS teams that have went undefeated have played the schedule that they played this year. They went and beat a really good Clemson team at their place and completely destroyed decent BYU and Utah teams. Throw in wins vs. bowl bound teams in SMU and Air Force to top it off.
I will say we need to see how it plays out with their bowl game. The unfortunate thing for the Utes '04 was they didn't ever get tested. A&M was a decent opening game that year but every game after that was against very weak teams. They were also given a bowl match up with a team that should have been playing in a bowl game that was before Christmas and not a BCS game."Take it to the Bank"

Originally posted by Art Vandelay View PostI included the BYU team for all the "Guests" who come over from CB to lurk. (Can you vote in a poll if you aren't logged in?). I thought the 06 team was still the WAC. Am I getting my years confused, wasn't that when the Wyoming coach pulled a Bellicheck and handed the conference championship to BYU by taking a stupid safety on purpose?
That Cotton Bowl team was a record breaker.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
