Nobody really likes this matchup..I would have rather seen either one of these teams take on Florida, especially TCU, but it is what it is and they will play tonight.

These guys hooked up in the Poinsettia Bowl last year and TCU won it 17-16..rallying from a 13-7 halftime deficeit and won the 2nd half 10-3.

TCU favored by a touchdown in this one and I see them making a statement tonight and dominating this game physically and winning by 14-17.

What do you say?

Outside of the national championship, this is the BCS game I'm most looking forward to. I like TCU in a close one. I love how their defense plays, and think their QB is really underrated. He makes great throws.

Great, the game that proves nothing.

I'll go with TCU. They've been great all year. I know Boise has too, but TCU has just dominated people and I'm sure Gary Patterson has them motivated to show the country what they've been missing by these two being stuck in the same game.

Patterson usually has these guys ready to play and I don't see why tonight will be any different. Of course, Peterson is a great coach who I'm sure has a couple tricks up his sleeve. Should be fun. If you enjoy a defense that just flys to the ball then you will love watching TCU's D. Stout.

Dalton doesn't get enough credit. They run the ball so well he sometimes gets lost but he can sling for sure and when they have the running game going it is pick your poison.

I love watching Boise play. TCU definitely seems like the favorite to me though. Great offense, great defense. Probably would have been the team to give Florida the best fight

TCU only won 17-16 but dominated the yardage last year. BSU had too many turnovers. 2009 Im going with BSU to win this game 27-24.

The BCS did take the pussy way out paring these 2 team together, especially after they just played last year. BCS didn want either of the non BCS teams to make their BCS sham look bad, so they play them together. In doing this, they looked worse!!

If you think that these bowls got together behind closed doors to make sure that neither of these got to play one of the big boys then you're delusional. These individual bowls couldn't care less about making the BCS look good. They only care about putting on the best game and making the most money. These bowls choose their teams independent of everyone else and are only looking out for themselves.

Now, I'm sitting here in my BSU jersey just waiting for kickoff! [size=x-large]GO BRONCOS!!![/size]

Thankfully this is the last year that Fox will be carrying any BS games. It wouldn't be so bad if they covered ANY regular season college football.

The one guy said something about the atmosphere being electric and his voice almost put me to sleep. Hopefully he brings some more energy to the broadcast or it is going to be looooooong game.

"watch out for Kyle Wilson, he is a great punt returner. This guy can really return punts." Dynamite drop in.

Great start by the BSU defense forcing a three-and-out. Pretty much all you ever hear people talk about with BSU is their high powered offense but they've been proving since the Oregon that they can play D too.
