About

Thanks to B/R, I went to the Fiesta Bowl as a credentialed member of the media, and was on the field 10 feet from the final INT of the night.....

College football is my passion -- USC, TCU, and BYU, three schools with whom I have personal ties. Although I cover TCU, though I still like to write about college football in the West and the nation.

Many articles have been linked to by CBSSports.com.

    Pete I have just one question. Now that TCU has jumped Boise it looks as though if they both win out TCU would get the auto bid and the first opportunity to get to the title game. Last year you predicted that TCU would dismantle Boise in the Fiesta Bowl based on speed, talent and superior coaching. That clearly didn't happen. Both teams are improved but do you think this BCS got it right putting TCU over Boise as they did last year (forgoing your TCU bias)?

    Yeah, I knew about O St, Baylor and SMU...hoping against hope that they scheduled a 1-A team, even a crappy one, rather than 1-AA. Better for their ranking plus I'm a season ticket holder and don;t really like forking over the bucks to see a glorified scrimmage.

    What 1-A teams still have a schedule gap to fill?
