Someone else posting from Utah? Sweet!

So much for TCU breaking into the BCS this year.

No more of ESPN's "Fly in the ointment" segments thankfully.

They'll still air all the segments they had planned. They'll just dub over the places where the announcer says "TCU" with whatever other mid-major is the flavor of the week. Boise St. probably.

Good, Cal will move up yet another spot at least..

Until they run into another team that has a halfway decent defense and get exposed....again.

Re: segments they already had planned, I bet ESPN's producers collectively breathed a huge sigh of relief when Notre Dame returned that intereception for a touchdown

It's Ohio State with 11, I believe.

They should still have a shot at a BCS bid if they win out the rest of the season. Last year they had one loss to a weaker school than BYU and would have made the BCS if this year's rules were in effect last year. Another loss will put them out, though.

...or lose to a team nobody's ever heard of.

Cal is inconsistent that way. They might come within a touchdown of beating USC, pound ASU and Oregon, and then lose to Humboldt State...
