Poinsettia Bowl: TCU 17, Boise State 16
After getting a pregame pep talk from LaDainian Tomlinson, who played at TCU, the Horned Frogs went out and promptly let undefeated Boise State go ahead of them 10-0. However, they called it no big deal, as they kept it close and went on to win 17-16. Boise State led 13-7 at halftime, but only managed a field goal in the second half, letting up a touchdown and a field goal. The running game led the way as Joseph Turner ran for the winning TD and gained 278 yards.
With the fall of Boise State, the only undefeated team left is Utah, which will take on the Crimson Tide from Alabama in the Sugar Bowl on January 2.
