I am beginning to think a shot at the national title may not be totally unrealistic. Check out this comment from ESPN:

"The top of this bunch is very legit. BYU has emerged as a very scary team. We knew the offense would be terrific, but the D has come though big-time, compiling consecutive shutouts, while the Utes' defense also has been quite salty. In fact, one of the best performances of the weekend was Utah bottling up an Air Force ground attack to 53 yards, 303 BELOW the Falcons' average coming into the game. Now if TCU can upset OU, again in Norman, the MWC really makes noise and probably leapfrogs every league outside of the SEC in conference rankings."

If the MWC is regarded as the 2nd best conference, the champion should have a ton of national credibility. Of course, TCU would have to beat OU, and that isn't likely to happen, but if it does, this season could become really crazy.
