The BlogDog, as you'll see next time you check out the blog, has cast his vote with TCU.<BR/><BR/>Third, if Air Force beats TCU, BYU and Navy, the Falcons won't just be in the top 25, they'll be featured in a centerpiece article in USA Today. It would be an incredible accomplishment, especially considering the Falcons finished last year 1-6.<BR/><BR/>Now, I think it's within the realm of possibility that Air Force takes out TCU, even though the Horned Frogs (as coaches and players will attest) have more talent. As you'll read in Thursday's edition of The Gazette, Air Force has beaten teams with more talent plenty of times. And coming off the big victory over Utah, I think the Falcons really are believing in themselves. I can't stress this enough: During the last three seasons, Air Force went 4-11 in games decided by a touchdown or less. If the Falcons had pulled out some close ones, maybe they would've been to a bowl since 2002. Now that they got a close one (and on the road), maybe this group has finally learned how to win the tight ones.<BR/><BR/>All that said, it's been my contention from the start of the season that the Falcons got such a touch slate in September (arguably their four toughest games of the year in a row), that if they went 3-2, they'd be in good shape for a bowl. That means Air Force just needs to win one of the next three games.<BR/><BR/>I'll leave you with the all-time sports cliche: One game at a time.<BR/><BR/>-Jakejake.schallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439348723374256770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056953216725180581.post-1016962862572405152007-09-12T19:16:00.000-06:002007-09-12T19:16:00.000-06:00I think we can win. I know we are going to win. We...I think we can win. I know we are going to win. We are going to win!<BR/>Both campuses will wake up Friday morning in shock - AFA in a good shock and TCU in a bad shock. If we can beat TCU, BYU, and Navy, I think we're a lock for the Top 25. We're already #57 according to cbssportsline.com, and if we can beat at least two of them, I think we'll be ranked by the end of the month.<BR/><BR/>What do you think, Jake?<BR/><BR/>P.S. - good luck, BlogDog!Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659547953725718016noreply@blogger.com
