Fiesta Bowl : Boise State vs. TCU : YPPSYS NCAA FBS College Football Bowl Game Predictions 2009 / 2010 Season

By Andis Kaulins

31. Fiesta Bowl, Glendale, AZ, Boise State vs. TCU, 8:00 p.m.

To the disgrace of the BCS, this game is a battle between two unbeaten teams who should be playing BCS Big 6 conference teams. As it is, the game is now merely a rematch between last season's Poinsettia Bowl opponents, a game which TCU won 17-16.

TCU was favored in the opening line by 4 points and that has risen at the time of this posting to 7 points. YPPSYS I ranks the Horned Frogs 1st in the nation with a rating of 2.2 and Boise State 6th with a rating of 1.0, a difference of 1.2 x 9 = 10.8 points. YPPSYS II gives TCU a schedule-adjusted margin of victory of 22.0 points (second to MOV top-rated Texas at 24.6) as compared to Boise State at 19.3, a difference of 2.7 points.

Our call: We call the game for TCU 27-24.
