UTEP being an exception, they were horrible.

However, although those teams are usually above avg, none of them were exceptional. I'm not interested in tearing down anything about Bronco's bowl record. It is very good, but it's pretty clear why were have a better win % in bowls vs above avg teams than when we play in the regular season vs above avg teams. We can play a #1-15 ranked team in regular season. We don't play those teams in the bowl games.
