Big game in Waco this Saturday. A year's worth of bragging rights for me or having to listen to Baylor fans trash talk for a year is on the line.

The overall record is 51-51-7. Patterson holds a 4-2 record against Baylor but only 2-2 against Briles. Actually holds a bigger record if you go back to when Briles was at Houston. They never beat TCU while both were in CUSA.

2010 - TCU 45 BU 10 (TCU was still in the MWC. Andy Dalton was near perfection. RGIII called the game a fluke.)
2011 - BU 50 TCU 48 (RGIII's Heisman year. Baylor wins on a 4th qtr FG.)
2012 - TCU 49 BU 21 (Boykin's first start at QB. Had 4 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD.)
2013 - BU 41 TCU 38 (Casey Pachall almost leads the comeback, but throws an INT in the endzone to end the game.)

So, if you believe in trends, it should be TCU's turn to win big. Baylor is better at defense and TCU is better at offense. So, which unit makes the biggest impact?

Also, there's a 50% chance of rain Saturday here in Waco. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

I`m a big Letdown guy.....Huge win for TCU last Saturday.

Letdown special.

Makes you wonder why TCU are a 8.5 point dog.

Baylor big.

Good luck!

then kid you should be on a&m this weekend.

but I don't believe in letdowns when you next opponent is also ranked. TCU OR OLE MISS WONT BE ON LET DOWN MODE TO MUCH AT STAKE ESPECIALLY PLAYING TOP 10 TEAMS.

Love A&M...Miss coming off that huge win....A&M by 21.....Miss won`t be able to keep up....LETDOWN!

Arizona coming off that huge win against Oregon.....USC will destroy them....LETDOWN!

Miss st coming off that big win against A&M.....Auburn runs them off the field....LETDOWN!

TCU huge win against Oklahoma....Baylor blowout city.....LETDOWN!

Northwestern coming off 2 huge wins against Penn st & Wisconsin....Minnesota big....LETDOWN!

Notre Dame with the big last second win against Stanford....N.C. keeps it close....LETDOWN!


All of a sudden MISS is ranked 3rd in the country and Miss St. is ranked 4th.....Both will be out of the top 10 in a few weeks.

Arizona is another team that got ranked this week for the 1st time.....They won be in the top 25 in a few weeks...lol.


Good luck!

Did you mean to say Baylor is better at D and TCU at O?

What I meant is both have gotten better at what they've been bad at previously. Baylor had the O already and is now better at D. TCU has always had a good D and now has a better O to hang with the other spread offenses.

I am aware of the let down factor. It usually comes with the amped up team playing a team they should beat easily. Take TCU beating OU in 2005 and then losing the next week to SMU. The difference is TCU and Baylor are both ranked in the Top 10. TCU isn't looking past Baylor. All reports have the team being completely focused and looking for revenge after losing in Ft Worth.

Line opened at 11 and is now down to 7.5. If it rains, I believe the Under is definitely the right play.

But I do agree that Minny takes out NWestern easily. Good luck guys! :toast:

Ole Miss and Mississippi St are for real. Their possible only problem is being in the SEC West division.

If their for real you shouldn`t have to contradict your statement.......Real deal teams beat anyone at any time at any place....No need for excuses.


Miss & Miss st which are ranked 3th & 4th in the country at the moment.....Neither one of those teams will be in the top 5 come November 1.....No doubt!

I think both are pretenders......Neither are that good to be 3rd and 4th in the rankings.


The rankings are a joke at the moment....

TCUis ranked 9th....lol.....Arizona is ranked 10th...lol

Good luck this weekend.

Rankings are a joke this time of year. Should come out at end of October.

Made a correction to my original post. Forgot that first game with RGIII was in 2010 and score was 45-10. Co-workers are getting me worked up.
