Will we see a 100 point game in college football this weekend?

TCU takes on New Mexico this weekend in what is their final chance to impress pollsters and the BCS computers. New Mexico is 1-10 on the season and shouldn't pose even a minor challenge to the Horned Frogs on Saturday. The question is, if (and when) TCU gets the chance to run up the score on the Lobos, what score will they name? TCU has to score some serious style points to maintain their slim BCS lead over Boise State, ensuring they will be the ones to slide into the championship game should Auburn or Oregon stumble on Friday. New Mexico has allowed under 30 points in a game only once this season and were beaten by the Ducks 72-0. This might be the perfect storm of ugliness, and do not be surprised to see Andy Dalton and the rest of the starters in the game late throwing the ball around. Not saying it is likely but the century mark is definitely possible.

The Boise State question not being asked

Boise State gets another chance to impress the coaches and pollsters tonight as they get Tuesday night all to themselves in a game vs. Louisiana Tech. At this point it has to be pretty obvious to Broncos supporters that they will most likely end up on the outside looking in, with the computers likely to hand the championship berth to Auburn, Michigan State or Missouri (provided they finish undefeated). Utah and TCU would have worthy arguments as well, especially TCU who would boast a win over Oregon State (along with Boise State), a win over a team likely ranked in Top 10 at the time (Utah), and would have done it in a Mountain West Conference which I think most would argue is tougher than the WAC, however neither team’s chances are likely. Many are suggesting that the fix is in to keep Boise State out of the championship game, and asking what will happen if Boise State gets left out? I think the more interesting question that nobody seems to be asking is what happens if Boise State gets in? What happens if Auburn, Michigan State or Missouri (teams from traditional power conferences and with tougher schedules than Boise State) gets passed over for the Broncos? What will happen if an outsider is able to successfully manipulate and play the system (designed to keep teams like Boise State on the outside looking in) against the powers-that-be? Could that be the catalyst to finally push for a playoff? Could it finally be what we have been hoping for?
