CFB: TCU passes Boise State in BCS standings


Associated Press

NEW YORK — TCU has passed Boise State in the Bowl Championship Series standings, putting the unbeaten Horned Frogs in position to be this season's BCS buster.

Florida, Alabama and Texas held onto the top three spots in the standings released Sunday night, keeping control of their chances to reach the national championship game.

Unbeaten Iowa moved up two spots to fourth place after beating Michigan State 15-13 with a last-play touchdown pass by Ricky Stanzi.

Fifth-place USC and sixth-place TCU also moved up two spots.

Boise State dropped from fourth to seventh. The big swing between undefeated Broncos and Horned Frogs came after TCU won 38-7 at BYU (6-2) and Boise State won 54-9 at Hawaii (2-5).
