By my logic??? I actually bet on Texas and made a lot of money, thanks. So I have no idea what by my logic means on that. Texas was the better team at the time according to spreads so the better team probably won that game.

And I am glad you are starting to understand the talent disparity between the Big 12/SEC and the Mountain West and WAC.

Big 12/SEC are loaded with 4/5 star recruits on almost every team. They beat on each other every week so any game can come down to the end. On the other hand you have TCU/Boise St loaded with 2/3 star recruits beating the hell out of 1/2 star recruits and walk ons.

And yes Boise did a nice job against Oregon. The season Oregon ended up having makes it more impressive. Boise isnt a team Id want to play to be honest as they are a confident team that plays great on turf. They wouldnt have the depth or strength to matchup in the SEC or Big 12 however so theyd likely finsh 4-4 or 3-5 in either of them conferences. TCU reminds me of Miss St in a lot of ways.(great defense, weak offense) Im not sure on Cincy, their offense is as good as I seen all year but they also couldnt stop teams from scoring. I suppose in the right matchup they could outscore a powerful team.
