Don't think so. TCU dropped a spot because they played weak against an unranked SMOO, not because of the conference they are in. Both Boise and TCU are closer to a national championship than the Big East Champ without being in an autobid conference. The only advantage the BE champ has is an automatic bid to a BCS game. The Big East champ hasn't played for the national championship in recent memory.

A BCS game is the goal and an automatic bid is much better than a Non AQ team having to go undefeated to have any chance at one. The Big East champ can even lose a game or two but still gets the big $$ of a BCS Bowl. An easy decision for TCU if they get an invite.

Don't be so sure it wasn't conference related. TCU was on the road against a rival and dropped. Nebraska was at home against a D-1AA and struggled, but yet moved up in the polls.

Didn't Nebraska move up because Texas got beat and dropped out of the Top 5?

Undefeated in the Big East may not get them in the National Title game, but it does guarantee a BCS bowl.

If the Big East extends an invite, TCU will accept it. The MWC would invite SMU or maybe UNT, because they won't want to lose the 5th largest media market in the country. If they take SMU, we will go to C-USA. They won't want to lose the DFW market either.

Good luck TCU. I hope the Big East adds you.

If SMU receives an invitation to the MWC and accepts then you will know that TCU is leaving for another conference.

I think the MWC would try for Houston before Smut, even UTEP before Smut.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
