Just a reminder that, during that stretch, Boise State is 17-22 (.436) against teams from P5 conferences (at the time the game was played), and 220-35 (.863) against everyone else.

For a G5 to go 17-22 against P5s is actually pretty strong. There are a number of signature wins among those 17. I would be surprised if any other G5 is substantially better over that time frame, and not surprised if no G5 is any better.

And other than Nutt, who IIRC (and as your listing suggests) was only there for a year, I'd take the records of any of those others, and the 22-year record (233-50, .823) or 23 counting Nutt (237-57, .806) is outstanding.

Yes, of course it's harder to do that at Rice than at Boise. But that just means it's harder, not impossible. And hard or not, that's the kind of track record we need to attract any opportunity to move upward from CUSA.

Remember, "We do these things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
