TCU has accepted an invitation to play in the Poinsettia Bowl. The bid was no surprise after Utah's heartbreaking loss to BYU on Saturday. Had Utah won, it would have headed to the San Diego bowl game. But after TCU crushed Colorado State, the Frogs moved into second in the Mountain West Conference. TCU's acceptance of the bid means no hometown Armed Forces Bowl. The game is set for 7 p.m. Dec. 19.
Update: TCU will face Northern Illinois, which has the nation's leading rusher, Garrett Wolfe. This is key. With just a 7-5 overall record, NIU likely would have missed out on the Poinsettia Bowl without Wolfe, who makes the Huskies more attractive than, say, the Arizona Wildcats, who finished with six wins.
