Bronco and Kyle: Best Wins / Worst Losses
Just using Sagarin, the worst losses for Bronco are Tulsa 2007 (difference of 48) and USU 2010 (difference of 69 and the defensive coordinator was fired the next day).

Bronco's best win is OU (finished 17th). Surprisingly his only 2 "upset" wins came in 2010 against Washington and SDSU. Meanwhile, Bronco has been beaten by 8 teams that ended ranked higher.


Meanwhile, Kyle has been beaten by 9 teams that ended up ranked higher at the end of the year. He has 4 "upset" wins, including this year's BYU-Utah game.

Kyle's worst losses are UNLV in 2007 (difference of 86) and Colorado 2011 (difference of 68).

Kyle best wins are, not surprisingly, from 2008. TCU (7) and Oregon State (13) both at home on Thursday nights, and then Alabama (6) in the bowl game.


Taken as a raw average, Bronco's average Sagarin finishing rank is 30.14. Kyle Whittingham's average is 32.14.
