I wasn't trying to make the argument that TCU had a stronger schedule but to act like the SEC is full of mythic football powerhouses is nonsense.

When compared to Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Wyoming and Air Force.... yes.

According to Boise State, that tried to schedule tougher non-conference games and had ZERO TAKERS.

TCU has a problem getting good games too. The top tier schools don't want to risk a loss to a tough ooc opponent so they won't schedule the games. Texas Tech (while not an elite school) just recently backed out of a future game with TCU.

And when compared to TCU, BYU and Utah, no.

I'd take Tennessee, Georgia and possibly even South Carolina, Auburn and Arkansas over BYU. Hell, BYU got kicked around by Florida State.

BYU is your standard for a strong conference opponent?

ARLINGTON, Texas — As BYU prepares to face No. 3 Oklahoma on Saturday, it's hard to ignore the Cougars' futility against ranked nonconference opponents.

BYU has dropped 12 consecutive games to ranked nonconference opponents and since joining the Mountain West Conference in 1999, the Cougars are 2-13 against teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll.

The last time the Cougars beat a ranked nonconference foe was in 1998, when they downed No. 14 Arizona State at home, 26-6.

The last time BYU defeated a ranked nonconference opponent on a neutral field was on New Year's Day, 1997, with a 19-15 victory over No. 14 Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl.

And the last time the Cougars knocked off a nonconference team ranked in the Top 10 occurred in 1990, when they upset No. 1 Miami in Provo, 28-21.

In his four years at the helm, BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall owns a 1-6 mark against ranked opponents.

seriously, if big conference teams shy away from playing us, and yet it takes playing big conference teams to prove something, apparently....and if winning by margins over 30 against our conference teams doesn't prove that something....wtf is TCU to do? seriously....wtf more do you want?

:rolleyes: So you're trying to argue that those schools are football powerhouses now?

FTR, if Florida/Alabama and Texas are undefeated they should be in the NC. If Texas loses (which I doubt will happen) then TCU should go.

You're trying to argue that programs like Tennessee, Georgia and Auburn AREN'T football powerhouses?

Now for a complete picture why don't you pull up Utah and TCU's records against non-conference ranked opponents.

Yes I am. I'll give you Florida and LSU as being consistently good (powerhouses) but the other ones no.

Do you still say Utah is an example of a solid football team in the Mountain West Conference or will you choode to ignore your ignorant and completely false statement?

:spock: Please quote my supposedly ignorant and false statement.
