First one to 100 wins ... maybe

You've seen the scores. They're hard to miss.

Baylor 61, TCU 58. Cal 60, Washington State 59. East Carolina 70, North Carolina 41. UCLA 62, Arizona State 27. Oregon 59, Cal 41.

And, most recently ... TCU 82, Texas Tech 27.

TCU set a team scoring record and a Big 12 record for points in a league game last Saturday. The Frogs' surge occurred so quickly that the school ran out of fireworks to shoot off after touchdowns.

Scoring milestones are taking place around the country, even in conference games. Nine teams have scored 10 or more touchdowns in a game this season, and 23 have scored at least nine. Baylor has done it twice.

More matchups are boiling down to this: first to 60.

But there's one thing the era of prolific point totals and possessions has yet to produce: a 100-point performance. It hasn't happened in a game involving FBS teams since 1968, when Houston thumped Tulsa 100-6. Among the Tulsa defenders that night at the Astrodome: a freshman linebacker named Phil McGraw. Yes, that Phil McGraw.

No wonder he went into psychology.

A 100-point game is so rare that Vegas oddsmakers don't list it on their boards.

Still, we could see one sooner than later.

Inside Access surveyed coaches about the potential for a 100-point output, what it would take to happen and the ramifications.
