The Horned Frogs (12-0, 8-0) wrapped up their first undefeated regular season in 71 years.
Bring on any opponent for TCU. The undefeated Horned Frogs are going to bust into the BCS for the first time. The only question left is where are they headed and who will they play.
"We can play with anybody," coach Gary Patterson said after TCU wrapped its first undefeated regular season in 71 years. "We're going to look forward to the challenge, we'll find out what that's going to be and we're going to get ready for it. ... This team can play with a lot of people, and not just this year."
Hard to argue after the fourth-ranked Horned Frogs improved to 12-0 with a 51-10 victory over New Mexico on Saturday--their seventh straight win by at least 27 points, a stretch including BYU and Utah, last year's BCS buster.
While there should be no question about if TCU (12-0, 8-0 Mountain West Conference) will be part of the Bowl Championship Series, the Frogs have to wait another week to make travel plans.
Representatives from the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar bowls were in attendance.

Volleyball going to 1st-ever NCAA Tournament Appearance
The TCU volleyball team earned its first-ever bid to the NCAA tournament. The field of 64 was announced Sunday afternoon. The Horned Frogs will travel to Austin and play Rice in the opening round of the tournament on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
"TCU volleyball is so thankful for the boosters, administrators, fans and families that came out to support to see us get our first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament," said head coach Prentice Lewis. "We have had a fantastic season and we look forward to participating in our first NCAA Tournament.
"I am so proud of this team that pushed the extra mile in every set and every match to come out on top. They are fighters and it's a group I would always want to go to battle with."
TCU makes its NCAA tournament debut in the Austin Regional. The host school, Texas, is the No. 2 national seed and it will play Texas State in the opening round.
The Horned Frogs are coming off their most successful season in school history with an overall record of 26-6. Picked to finish fifth in the Mountain West, the Frogs exceeded expectations to the tune of a 13-3 record in league play to finish in second place. The Frogs are 9-1 in their last 10 games and 12-1 in their last 13. Four Frogs earned all-conference accolades in Kourtney Edwards, Christy Hudson, Katelyn Blackwood and Megan Munce, who earned Setter of the Year honors.
