Possible TCU National Championship?

Let's assume that everything goes as we think it will and Alabama and Texas pay in the BCS title game.

Could TCU still get a championship?

Remember, The coaches are contractually obligated to award the national championship to the winner of the BCS Championship game but the AP is not affiliated with the BCS in any way.

What if, The Texas/Alabama game ends up being a very ugly game on both sides, similar to the Big XII game last night.

And, TCU puts in a very impressive performance against whoever they play, preferably not Boise, (If they kicked the crap out of Boise people would just assume that means that BSU was not very good)

Any chance TCU gets voted by the AP as National Champs?

The powers that be won't let it happen. The BCS learned their lesson with Utah last year. If TCU murders Florida they would have a legitimate claim to the #1 spot, at least in the AP poll. So make them play Boise, and whoever wins won't impress as much as Utah did by waxing 'Bama.

If the voters were going to punish a team for playing like Texas did yesterday, they would do it today by voting TCU 2nd and Texas 3rd.

The Nebraska kicker that hit the kickoff out of bounds should never step foot in Fort Worth...

No chance. TCU didn't pick up a single #1 vote in the Coaches' Poll today. Given the bias voters have for their previous votes (don't want to move anyone down until they lose), I just don't see enough #1 votes falling to TCU to get the job done. The best they'll do is #2 like Utah last season.
