Now that TCU has upended Boise State in the most watchable matchup of the entire bowl season, it's worth asking: How did TCU wind up in the Mountain West instead of the Big 12?Baylor is all giddy that it managed to beat A&M this year and finish NEXT-to-last in the Big 12 South, a step up from its perennial doormat status. Iowa State is a joke. Kansas State had to pull Bill Snyder out of retirement to get back to the level where TCU already is now. Think of how much more competitive the Big 12 would be with TCU in the mix -- and how much more lively the DFW sports scene would be with a hometown Big 12 team.

Well, you've got to remember what a joke TCU was when the SWC was broken up. And there was probably some desire to preserve the SMU-TCU conference rivalry by putting them both in the WAC. But my, how things have changed in the last 13 years...
