TCU and Utah meet this Thursday on the Utes home field in a meeting that will likely decide which team will get an at large bid into a BCS game in January.
TCU is 9-1 overall and 6-0 in conference play. The only blemish coming a top 5 ranked Oklahoma team early in the season. Since then the Horned Frogs have five straight games including a romping of then #8 ranked BYU. The Frogs will be looking for revenge since they last year's meeting with the Utes and a BCS berth is on the line.
The Utes are off to their best start since 2004 when they got their first BCS berth and didn't dissappoint with a defeat of then Big East Champion, Pittsburgh. Utah has won four of the last five meetings against the Horned Frogs and will use that mental edge to win on Thursday.
TCU ranks third in the nation in scoring defense (10.8 points per game), and second in total defense (214.5 ypg). Its run defense, which leads the nation with 38.9 yards allowed per game. Although Utah has rushed for 520 yards in its last two games that was to sorry New Mexio and Colorado State squads.
I give the edge to TCU in a close one, 17-14.
Peace,
