When TCU trounced UNLV, 41-0, yesterday in Forth Worth, Texas, it put the Horned Frogs in position to become this year's BCS buster.

TCU is eighth-ranked, 8-0 overall and 4-0 in the Mountain West Conference. The Mountain West isn't highly thought of when it comes to producing teams that are considered worthy enough to play in one of the BCS bowl games, but TCU is making people take notice. It has won 10 in a row dating to last season.

Last week's 38-7 victory at BYU boosted TCU past Boise State (8-0) and into sixth place in the BCS standings. It will be interesting to see where the Horned Frog are today when the BCS standings come out.

The Iowa Hawkeyes furious comeback in the fourth quarter after falling behind Indiana, 24-14. It looked as if their perfect season would end until they rallied for 28 points in the final 15 minutes.

Houston quarterback Case Keenum helped his national profile with a 559-yard, five-touchdown passing performance in a 50-43 victory against SMU.

Mississippi, once ranked No. 4, appeared to be back on track with victories the past two weeks. But the Rebels couldn't dig out from a 24-point hole and lost, 33-20, to Auburn.

The Temple Owls sank Navy, 27-24, for their sixth consecutive victory and their longest winning streak since 1974. The Owls are now bowl eligible. The previous time Temple went to a bowl game was 1979.

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel when asked if QB Terrelle Pryor were injured: "I think he just got banged around and I don't know if it was a nose or an elbow or a toe or an ankle or a knee or a hip, but we thought he'd had enough banging. I was told we were going to have stats at halftime, but with our electronic age it didn't get done, so I don't have any idea how many carries and stuff he had but we thought he'd had enough."
