The Mountain West Conference now is 2-1 this bowl season after TCU edged Boise State, 17-16, last night in San Diego.
The Horned Frogs’ win was a big one because it came against a Western Athletic Conference team. And among the non-BCS conferences, the MWC and WAC are probably the two best known.
Even though TCU didn’t get it done in Salt Lake City, I think it’s the best team in the league this year. That defense is tough. …

The game was not as close as the score….I was only able to catch about 2/3 of the game, but it seemed TCU was killing Boise on every snap and the stats show a huge advantage for TCU. They should have won by 2 touchdowns, and would probably do better against ‘Bama than Utah, which is THE key post season game for the conference. It the MWC went 1-4 in Bowls, but Utah>Bama, the conference is a repsected BCS contender, or 4-1 with a Utah loss, and the conference is a just a BCS pretender.
