USA Today Tulsa Preview

[Harry]

Tulsa's margin for error is razor-thin, befitting not only the Golden Hurricane's significant expectations but also the nature of our current postseason format, now entering its last days. Recent Bowl Championship Series history suggests that TU needs to go undefeated, especially if Boise State and others make a similar charge for a BCS berth.

That means 13-0, not just 12-0, and a résumé of wins against Iowa State, Oklahoma, Rice, East Carolina, Marshall and Louisiana Tech and then another win against either ECU or Marshall in the Conference USA title game. What about 12-1? Maybe, but it would be tight.

We'll miss these conversations when they're gone. Tulsa, Boise State, Northern Illinois, Fresno State this quartet will challenge for an at-large BCS bid for one last time, with the winner fighting one last fight for underdogs everywhere before the advent of the four-team playoff. Why not Tulsa?

I'm already with my rear on the record that we will win this game to secure a 7th win and set the future direction of this program

It'd be great if they were making noise in the top-25 to make our victory even more headline grabbing.

Of course, I've not considered the in-season development of Tulsa's leader. If Goldie proves worthy of a larger role than expected in 2013, I reserve the right to backtrack...
