It's got to be TCU. I'm not saying LSU isn't a good team, like charlie weis once said "good teams find a way to win close games" and they sure have done that this year but TCU has the

#1 ranked rushing defense
#2 ranked scoring defense
#2 ranked sacks
#1 ranked total defense

Add into the fact that this was Jordan Jefferson's first year starting, I believe TCU takes this one, and by a wide margin.

Frogs win on the shoulders of Ginger Power:

How come people can use stats like this for TCU and nobody brings up the argument "but they haven't played anybody"? I mean if your going to use these stats I at least think they should be within the context of knowing who was on the schedule.

Trust me I know TCU is legit as anyone I have seen them play in person and have been a big fan for years, but nobody really brings this up with them, and while their entire schedule hasn't been cupcakes, what would you say has been their marquee matchup or victory?

It's probably their victories over Clemson, BYU, and Utah.

LSU is a good team, but they are in a down year. TCU has the best defense in the country and more than enough offense. I think LSU keeps it close in the first half, but TCU pulls away in the second. TCU - 24, LSU - 10.

One of the greatest teams in Texas Christian's history versus a less than stellar LSU squad, should be a comfortable victory for the Horned Frogs.

Their schedule schedule is similar to Texas.

LL I neg repped you instead of responding publicly, because there is no way I could have possibly responded in a respectful way to a post so full of error. Hook 'em horns, I like both teams. Peace.

I didn't know you took TCU so seriously that it was worth neg repping instead of responding, but like I said your obviously still just upset that I spoke up about Bob being banned in the Cowboys forum. Besides how could I have a post 'so full of error' when I asked a general question? Don't take things so seriously, and if you couldn't respond to my post in a respectful way then how could you possibly jump down people's throats in the team forum when people can't be respectful to Bob when he's being his typical self.

The guy crying about getting neg repped on an internet forum is telling me not to take it seriously.

I must of missed the part where I was crying. I'm just calling it like I see it, some guys can't handle honestly and not carry them into other forums that's all. I'll be sure to be nice to your bud Bob next time though, you know we should all be more respectful of guys who have been banned 10x plus around here.

One day, it could be you!
