I guess I should say this again. The reason that TCU and Boise St. are getting real consideration this year is because they're 33-3 and 34-1 respectively over the last three seasons. And in the last 5 years they've beaten teams like Oklahoma, Oregon, Oregon State, Virginia Tech, and Baylor.

The consideration is reward for consistent winning, with some marquee victories mixed in. If teams like TCU, Boise St. and Utah never beat BCS opponents, they wouldn't be part of the discussion.

Exactly, Thats half a season in a major conference and your touting it over 5 years? I think this is the point everyone is trying to make. You can't play 2 major confernce games a season while you ask the majors to play 8-10 a season. Besides the 8 SEC games LSU will play this season they also played West Virgina and North Carolina. If Boise and TCU played that kind of schedule I'd give them the nod but until then let's not pretend their road is just as hard any any one loss team from the SEC, PAC10, Big Twelve or Big 10. If you want serious consideration join a major conference. (imho)

Let me know next time they beat a top team from the SEC or the Big 10.
