Until Thursday night #9 BYU had everything going for them. They were undefeated with a stellar QB, who was marching a campaign for the Heisman, and were on a crash course with the BCS. That all changed when they paid a visit to TCU, losing 32-7. The Horned Frogs dominated in every aspect of the game. They out gained BYU 410-297, forced 4 turnovers and didn't allow Max Hall to throw a touchdown.
Chants of "overrated" echoed through the stadium and ya know what? It appears that it is true. This is the first team with a winning record that the cougars have faced and they got crushed. They went from a possible BCS birth to in danger of not even winning their own conference. They will have to win out and get some help from around the league. Don't forget they almost blew it against Washington. If it weren't for a ridiculous penalty late in the game BYU could have already been taken down.
After two years of Non-BCS teams crashing the party it looks like we won't be seeing any Cinderella stories this year and it may be a good thing. BYU is not in the same class, it would have been Hawaii all over again.
