It seems like we were contstantly getting lucky that year. So many of the games could have gone either way. Another thing, how many games in 2001 were won by a hair?

I personally think if we could win out and win a bowl this would be a better overall year than that one (as shocking as that sounds to me right now...)

For example, the 2001 Sagarin ranking was 28. Right now, BYU's Sagarin ranking is 43. If BYU can win the next three games, then I think the ranking will be pretty similar. Although, we might drop in the computer rankings even if we beat UNLV (it is going to hurt our strength of schedule).

So Karl, how many times did we score over 40 in the Lavell years?

That happened a lot; over 30% of the time in the Edwards era. Here is a breakdown by sub-period:

1976-1980: 40%
1981-1985: 38%
1986-1990: 34%
1991-1995: 25%
1996-2000: 22%

It also was fairly common in the Crowton Era, but only because of 2001:

2001-2004: 28%
2001: 71%
2002-2004: 11%

Note: I did not include division 1-AA opponents in the preceding summary stats.
