The Boise State Broncos were one of two undefeated teams this season but they were left out of the BCS in favor of fellow mid major Utah. While this isn't a BCS bowl, The Poinsettia Bowl, is one of the premier match ups of this bowl season as #9 Boise takes on #11 TCU.
While Boise ran the table this year they only really had one big win, against #17 Oregon. Their schedule lacked the top-tier match up. TCU on the other hand had a couple of games against ranked teams, but lost 2 out of 3 (OU and Utah). They did take down BYU, which pretty much ended the Cougar's BCS dreams.
Ian Johnson, the Bronco's running back who scored the infamous two-point conversion against OU, is playing his final game of his career tonight. While that was the peak of his career, he still has a chance to break Marshall Faulk's WAC rushing touchdown record. Although he has to do it against one of the best run defenses in the league.
So tune in tonight for the Poinsettia Bowl to watch the best non-BCS bowl of this holiday season. It may not have the big-time name but it sure has big-time talent and that is all that matters.
