Some good wins to be sure. But many Ws vs poor P5 teams by end record. Again, I think Bronco most definitely had more comparable resources to all of those teams save ND, Oklahoma, FSU, and much better depth because of it. Independence has not been good to us whole the P5 teams get richer year by year.
