then in the 10 seasons from 2005 through 2014 there have been 47 special seasons in college football spread among 27 different programs. (Because it isn't over, I haven't included 2015, but at the moment there are 8 teams in contention for a special season in 2015.)
Discounting our record against Yewtah and discounting some of his most head scratching losses, I think some BYU fans wonder why some programs with equal to far less resources than Bronco has can pull off at least one special season in the last ten years; some having done so several times.
And yes, there are some programs on this list I woouldn't trade places with (UCF, Cincy, Kansas, Hawaii, etc), but people have been wondering how any portion of the fanbase could be dissatified with Bronco, and I'm telling you this is another of the list of reasons.
