It's in Southern California, very close to Downtown LA.

TCU is really, really good. Better than Boise, Cincy, Oregon, Iowa. No doubt they can play with the top 3.

Haha. I'd say that's a good place for 'em.

But come on KG, even you have to admit they get the benefit of the doubt from the media. They will always be the highest ranked team with one loss or two or however it works out.

I do admit that. But you've got to admit that they've kinda earned that benefit of the doubt over the past eight seasons.

Yeah, they can be incredible at times. Then they throw in that game that leaves everyone scratching their heads. Guess that's what ya get with college kids.

It's like they are so used to having it so easy that they don't deal with adversity well. They are used to hitting teams and having them fold but the second a team doesn't fold, you see the SC teams start getting tight. I won't say this is the end of the SC reign in the Pac-10 but the tide is really changing. I think teams like Cal (they are building new, first class facilities now and are getting top players to come for visits) and Oregon (already has among the best facilities in the country) are about to really close the gap.
