Default TCU not a must win

TCU is not a must win if BCS game is the goal.

If we lose to TCU, then win out and beat Utah last game of the season (provided Utah beats TCU), then I predict we still make BCS game.

To make the BCS every game is a must win.

I didn't think about Boise and Fresno. Both those might be higher than us without another loss.

BYU would fall to what about #20 if they lose to TCU on the road, provided they didn't get killed.

That leaves six weeks to climb back to #12, including a huge high profile game against Utah, who could be potentially about #8 at that time.

Your own religious beliefs have creeped into your football analysis.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

At least 10 - 12 spots depending on who else loses that week.
