vs. Utah?

Can't see that one for the life of me. Common opponents are basically a wash and Utah is at home.

for me it is pure homerism:D

The Frogs are awesome on defense and have been since Manny Johnson torched them in the OU game. Dalton is playing the best he has ever played and with A Brown back, our running game is coming around. Maybe that is what everyone sees.

TCU is one of the most underrated teams this year IMO

Utah has a great defense just like TCU, so the edge goes to Utah because of the their QB and spread option offense.

Utah is barely winning. They're soft like Rocky early in Rocky 3. TCU is like Clubber Lang and ready to punch the Utes.

The answer is we're a Texas based board. TCU is a Texas based team. They're the only program worth cheering for on the collegiate level here is the metromess. Of course I'll pull for them. I'm gonna cheer for Utah? TCU is a good story, especially in the big boy obsessed BCS. They are under appreciated for the success they are. Patterson took over what Franchionne started and grew it beyond what most would have expected possible. He's a quiet, unassuming leader for a program that is doing things the right way. Why wouldn't you pull for them?

No, that was just what came to mind. Most of the time, undefeated teams hit a point where they're barely hanging on to win and then they play a good team and get beat.

I don't hate the Utes like some of the MWC (See BYU and Col. State) and will also lean towards Air Force, but they do have a Texas QB.

TCU has just played better this year.

Utah's close games:

Oregon State(yes the one who beat USC)
@New Mexico

Look at their common opponents

Frogs-@UNLV............44-14

Utes-@Wyoming......40-7
Frogs-Wyoming..........54-7

Utes-Colorado St.....49-16
Frogs-@Colorado St...13-7

I've changed twice so far this week... I would rather see TCU win but that doesn't have any bearing on the Pick'Em. I won't NOT pick against TCU like I won't pick against Texas.

I think the Wyoming is a wash, probably UNLV depends on when the td was scored I'd think.

Colorado State big to Utah, and New Mexico less so to TCU.

I'd give the edge to TCU, but not by a ton. Who knows. Still 1.5 hours to change.
