BCS Fiesta Bowl | TCU vs Boise State – Matchup & Betting Info
The 2009 Fiesta Bowl is where the TCU Horned Frogs will Play Boise State? Really, wouldn’t the better game be TCU vs Cincinatti? this would decide the question I wanted answered, which of these teams was more deserving of a title shot if the Texas Longhorns wouldn’t have pulled that last second win. As we all know the BCS is by no means perfect, but how perfect is it to have the two non BCS teams play each other in a Bowl? this protects the BCS teams from being upset.
