Monday night in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Boise State Broncos and the TCU Horned Frogs in battle of unbeatens. The Broncos are 13-0 and the Frogs are 12-0.

A crack at a major conference powerhouse eluded these programs despite their perfect records, resulting in the third-ranked Horned Frogs and No. 6 Broncos squaring off in a second consecutive postseason at the Fiesta Bowl.

NCAA odds makers are calling Texas Christian about a touchdown favorite in this one. The spread in Vegas is sitting at, TCU -7.5 with the total in the game set at 54.

Monday's game will be the the first time two unbeaten teams will play in a BCS bowl other than the national championship game.

"We'd love to go against a team on a bigger stage," TCU cornerback Rafael Priest said. "Boise is a good team. They're 13-0. You don't come across that too much, so you've got to give them all their respect. Both are BCS busters. We're going to take our opportunity and make the best of it."

Some Boise State fans were unhappy to not be facing a BCS conference foe, but they can't complain much considering their team is the first from a non-automatic qualifying conference to receive an at-large BCS bid.

"We got what we wanted," said coach Chris Petersen. "We're playing a great opponent. With tough opponents there is great opportunity. I just think there is so much respect out there for TCU."

He is right, in fact, TCU is getting way too much respect. I like the Broncos in this one. Although they are both undefeated, neither team has really beaten anyone.

This game should be a lot more evenly matched as many think.

Take the Broncos and give the 7.5 points.
