With one more basketball win, Boise
State can become only the 15th
school since 1980 to be a member of the “10-20 Club” twice. The Broncos have a minimum of six games to
play this season. To gain access to the
exclusive club, a school must win 10 or more regular season football games,
followed by 20 or more regular season basketball wins that same school year. Boise
State has a chance to be one of 15
despite the fact that the Bronco football team competed in Division I 16 less
years than most other eligible schools.
Last fall, the Bronco football team was 10-2 during the
regular season, doing their part to make it happen. Thus far, the Boise
State basketball team is 19-6 and
in first place in the Western Athletic Conference.
Boise State
achieved the feat in 2003-04, going 12-1 in football and 20-8 in
basketball. The Broncos joined Texas
as the only two schools to enter the club that year. The feat has been accomplished 45 times since
1996, the year Boise State began playing football in I-A, and only 11 schools
have done it twice in that time. The
Broncos, of course, won 10 or more games several times from 1980-1995, but
those victories came as part of Division I-AA.
Oklahoma, BYU,
Arkansas, Texas,
Alabama, Florida
State, North Carolina, Florida,
Michigan, Notre Dame, Louisville,
West Virginia, Ohio
State and Wisconsin
are the only 14 schools to gain access to the 10-20 club twice since 1980.
Texas and Oklahoma
are masters at accomplishing the milestone.
The Sooners have reached the plateau five times since 1996 and eight
since 1980, while Texas has also
achieved the feat five times since 1996 and seven since 1980. Michigan
has become a member of the Club four times while BYU has done it a total of
three times, once as a member of the Mountain West Conference.
In all, the 10-20 milestone has been reached just 38 times
since 1996 and 66 times since 1980, or a little more than two times per year.
