Guess Who's 2nd in the MWC in "Elite Wins" Over 5 Years . . . .

How many elite wins did you get? Who came up with the really, really big victories? Here are the conference rankings of the teams with FBS wins over the strongest and best teams each season.

Coming up with lots of wins always matters, but pulling off the massive victory over the top team in the big game can define a season.

In the CFN Five-Year Program Analysis, an Elite Win is a victory over an FBS team that finished with two losses or fewer, or on the road or in a bowl game against a team that lost three games. An extra 0.5 is added on to the Elite Win score when a team comes up with a road victory over a team that finished with two losses or fewer.

As you’ll notice, it’s really, really hard to get a win over a great team – that’s why they’re Elite Wins.

It was the NIU game. They finished 2013 at 12-2. We got the extra half point because it wasn't at home and they had 2 losses or fewer. The BYU team that we beat in Provo lost 4 games that year. Boise also lost 4 the year we beat the crap out of them.

We also appear to have no "bad losses" in the last five years either according to CFN.
