SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -For most of the season, Boise State was at the forefront of the debate regardiing BCS non-automatic qualifiers and their chances of crashing the national title game.
Now TCU is in the spotlight, something even “one-game-at-a-time” coach Gary Patterson acknowledged Saturday after beating then-No. 6 Utah 47-7 on the road.
“The bottom line is that they put themselves on a different plateau,” Patterson said. “They have to finish the season and we can only control what we can control. But I thought they made a statement. Everybody else in the country, when they go into someone else’s house in a big game, they usually end up getting beat.”
It happened to then-No. 1 Alabama at South Carolina on Oct. 9. Then to newly crowned No. 1 Ohio State at Wisconsin the following week. And Oklahoma, the first BSC No. 1, fell two weeks ago at Missouri.
