The Frogs made their claim as the No. 1 non-automatic qualifying team in the BCS this weekend, moving up to No. 6 in the BCS standings after blowing out BYU 38-7.

TCU passed Boise State as the top-ranked non-AQ team as Boise fell from No. 4 to No. 7 this week, despite a blowout win at Hawaii.



"Chris Petersen and Boise have got a good football team," head coach Gary Patterson said after Saturday's game when asked about BCS rankings.
