This may be among my favorite CF thread titles of all time.
Or at least the most amusing twist to a recurring topic.

Parody of what are my chances scene from dumb and dumber
ISU: What do you think the chances are of a team like us beating a team like you?
TCU: Well, ISU, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really...
ISU: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to play you TCU. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
TCU: Not good.
ISU: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
TCU: I'd say more like one out of a million.
[pause]
ISU: So you're telling me there's a chance... YEAH!

Wouldn't even hold a candle to the OSU upset. I along with many others thought that upset was a sign of big things to come for the program. Who knew it would be the high water mark of the Rhoads era?
An upset over TCU today would be a pleasant surprise but it's not going to wash away the stink of the last two seasons and it's not going to convince any of the fire CPR crowd to change their mind. With that said, go Cyclones! I hope they can put it together this afternoon and send the seniors out with a win.
Hey, a few turnovers caused by our defense and a few long TD throws to Lazard ... we are in the game and anything could happen ...
another game with a top rated team late in the season ... another national championship system messed up!

#2 (Okie state still #1)
Similar in terms of buzz factor...last time it disrupted BCS, but this time all eyes on the new playoff seeding (and all the unknowns, debates, etc of the first time)
Much less meaning full for program, however as the Okie State sent us bowling and was something we embraces (marketing, program moving forward)
Don't get me wrong, upset on the road HUGE for Publicity, momentum, confidence, etc.
Remember, TCU won 4 games last year ;-)
I terms of unbelievably epic, this would top the OSU game by a mile. That ISU team had a pulse on defense and was good at forcing TOs, and could run the ball. This team is the Bad News Bears in straight jackets. I don't mean that in a bad way. There is just too much going wrong right now to see much else. When ISU beat OSU, the fans, coaches and players had a feeling it might happen. Now I don't think any of them do. Let's get this over with is not for just the fans this time.
You know, GMac beat #5 KSU on the road in his last regular season game as coach at ISU, after four long seasons of underachieving. So, like, that happened.
I have a weird feeling about this game. Like either we are going to get crushed in an epic way, or we are gonna blow up the playoff system.

Two options: Shock the world, or be the whimpering fat guy:
