have traditionally played tougher games early in the season. Whenever we get a good non conference foe, it was always in the early part of the season. We always liked to think we are a great team, but we have been just average against good teams, and then benefited from beating up bad to good (not great) teams in the WAC and MWC. If we had played all our conference games at the beginning of the year and then all our non conference games at the end, then the trend would have been totally reversed.
