TCU and Boise State continue to fight their way into the BCS by staying undefeated. If TCU remains unbeaten, it will get in, but Boise State has a tougher road. The Broncos not only need to win out, but also have to show that they are a viable BCS bowl sell and contender.

Boise State Broncos (10-0, 5-0)

Two weeks ago was not Boise State’s finest moment. The Broncos struggled at Louisiana Tech and the nation penalized them for it. This week, that same Louisiana Tech team took LSU to the wire.

Boise State continues to win games and with three left on the schedule, the Broncos should win out. Nevada has played well enough to be considered a major hurdle toward the end of the season and if the Broncos get past the Wolf Pack and then New Mexico State, it will have run the regular-season gauntlet unscathed for the second consecutive season.

Find another team that can state that. And if you do, find out how many times that team missed a BCS bowl.
