TCU had higher hopes for their season once it ended, but alas, it wasn't to be. Ole MIss beat the No. 1 team in the country, twice. This is easily the best matchup of the New Year's Six bowl games, and one that you don't want to miss, regardless of team affiliation.
It's the ultimate matchup of offense vs. defense, with TCU's No. 2 rated scoring offense going up against the Rebel's No. 1 scoring defense, and from everything we've read, no one knows exactly now things will turn out. What we do know is that it's likely to be a close, hard-fought battle that will come down to the wire.
Beyond the simple matchup on the field, there are larger implications. This is, after all, the third Big 12 vs. SEC matchup in a 2014 bowl game, and the SEC is currently 2-0, with wins over West Virginia and Texas. Can TCU reverse the trend, or will Ole Miss continue the SEC's streak?
We'll find out soon enough.
