Other than the 2013 schedule they haven't been any more difficult than the MWC..
...days and this year's schedule is around average for a MWC strength of schedule (this is to your comment "This is while playing harder schedules"). As for SoS in the WAC I have no way to gauge it since Sagarin's rankings don't go back that far and I haven't seen any other ranking system do it either.

As for the constant effort by Mendenhall worshippers to compare him to Lavell, just stop. You can't. With Lavell, wins and losses were just a small part of what made him great. When you factor in his coaching tree/legacy (w/Super Bowl winning coaches), 26 or so All-Americans, 2 Outland Trophy winners, a Heisman winner, 7 Sammy Baugh winners, 2-3 Davey O's, a Maxwell, a Bear Bryant, a National Championship, several top 10 finishes, a Cotton Bowl win, a win over a #1 ranked team (a legit team full of future NFL stars), numerous College Football HoFers, etc, etc. He also flat out OWNED his rivals. Period. It's embarrassing to even try and compare, so just stop.

Going 9-3 is a nice season for Bronco even if we blew a couple of games that we should have won but it's not anything to write a huge long paragraph over. He's not as good of a recruiter or talent evaluater as Crowton but overall is a better coach than Crowton was. He was also a better coach than Tommy Hudspeth. That's where he sits.
