TCU blows shot at title consideration

If TCU would have been able to beat #6 Boise St in this years Fiesta Bowl, they would have finished 13-0 and earned a spot in the discussion for National Title. Ofcourse it would have had to been an AP National Title, split with the BCS title winner but that's not exactly chop liver. If Alabama ends up winning then it may not matter. Yet, if Texas wins the BCS title game then one would be forced to ponder, should the title be split with another team from Texas? Unlike Boise St, one could make a good argument that TCU played a worthy schedule. Lets take a look. They beat ACC member Virginia on the road, 9-5 Clemson on the road, 8-5 SMU, 8-5 Air Force on the road,11-2 BYU on the road, 10-3 Utah, and 7-6 Wyoming again on the road. I should mention that Clemson, SMU, Air Force, BYU, Utah and Wyoming all won their bowl games. This all sounds great until you remember it doesnt matter since they lost to Boise St in their own bowl game. The NFL live crew would say,"Come on man!" The Horned Frogs had a remarkable season but it's too bad they didn't give themselves a chance to enter the National Title Discussion.
