Despite going undefeated, Texas Christian University has been criticized for playing a weak schedule. Earlier in the season, Ohio State President George Gee denounced TCU saying, “Having been both a Southeastern Conference president and a Big Ten president, that it’s like murderer’s row every week for these schools. We do not play the Little Sisters of the Poor. We play very fine schools on any given day.”
Now that TCU has won the Rose Bowl and defeated Wisconsin, the Horn Frogs are not letting Gee forget his comments. 20 electronic billboards have gone up in the Columbus, Ohio area congratulating TCU on their Rose Bowl victory, from “The Littler Sisters of the Poor.”
Ohio State finished second behind Wisconsin in the Big 10 and instead went to the Sugar Bowl where they defeated Arkansas. There is no telling if the Buckeyes would be able to beat the Little Sisters of the Poor, but as my 90-year old grandma says, “It’s Catholic so it’s no monkey business.”

Boise State lost its first game of the season in an upset to Nevada on Friday night, 34-31. It was the team’s first loss since 2008 in the Poinsetta Bowl to TCU. Boise State had long argued for its place at the top of college football, but many argued Boise State played a weaker schedule, and its record was misleading. Boise State was ranked No.3 in the BCS standings and was making a strong case for a bid to the National Championship. Then, in the team’s last meaningful game of the season, the Broncos fell short to No.19 Nevada.
