I am not comparing 2017 to any of those seasons. 2017 was dramatically worse. My point is that even Bronco's stellar record against bad opponents was pierced in 2005 and 2010.

OSU was ranked #18 in the Vegas Bowl & then dropped out entirely

So is it now better to lose to Bottom 25 teams?

Bronco never had a season like last season. No one has in 40 years

At many programs similar to ours Kalani would have been fired last year

He's got a point. Donnerstag is trying to convince us how bad Bronco was in an

I don't think he was. He's a data/lists guy. He likes to point out

I don’t like the facts either but that doesn’t make them untrue.

So what you’re saying is BYU has never been good at beating good teams

And now we lose to both top 25 AND bottom 25.

It’s more than that. As most of our chances happen earlier in the year the ratings at the time aren’t terribly accurate

Between '06-'15, only 3 of the losses were played at LES

That's very telling. Worth 3 points in most games...

Give it up. Kalani's best win in 2 seasons is against #51 Toledo.
