14-0

Well, Boise State didn't get a shot at the "national championship," but they did finish the season undefeated.

Back in October, I was wondering if Boise State would get a chance to play for the BCS championship if they went undefeated.

Tonight, they completed a perfect season by beating TCU, 17-10, in the Fiesta Bowl at Glendale, AZ. Thursday, Alabama and Texas will face off for the BCS championship at the Rose Bowl. Boise finishes 14-0.

Boise State certainly deserved the shot that they didn't get. Instead, they'll have to be satisfied with a great season, capped by an exciting win over TCU, who was also undefeated coming into the game.

With the score tied at 10 with about 9 minutes to play, on 4th down and 9 from their own 33, Boise State converted on a fake punt, a pass play from punter Kyle Brotzman to Kyle Efaw that went for 30 yards. Minutes later, Doug Martin took it in from 2 yards out for the go-ahead score.

TCU still had some game left, getting down to the Boise State 30 on the Horned Frogs' final drive, but then an interception iced the game for Boise.

I'd vote for Boise State as the national champions just on principle, if I had the chance. They might not be good enough to beat Texas or Alabama, but the shame of it all is that we'll never know.
