With Boise State ’s 45-10 win over Idaho yesterday, the Broncos reached their 10^th win of the season without a loss.  It was the 8^th time in the last 10 years that Boise State has achieved the feat.  In this decade, Boise State has hit the mark in six of the eight years so far.   

This is significant because the Broncos have become just the 20^th school in NCAA history to win ten or more games in six seasons of a decade.  Only 14 have done it since 1920.  If Boise State can keep it up, they move into even more elite company.  Only 11 times has a school won ten or more games in seven seasons of a decade, six times since 1920.  With two more seasons of double digit wins, the Broncos would become one of just seven schools in college football history to reach 10 or more wins in eight years of a decade.  Florida State (90's), Oklahoma (1970’s), Nebraska (80’s) and Texas (this decade) are the only teams to do it in the modern era (since 1930).  Harvard , Pennsylvania and Princeton are the only others to accomplish the feat.  

Florida State is the only team in history to win 10 or more games in each year of a decade--the Seminoles did that in the 90's. Only two times in history has a school won ten or more games in nine seasons of a decade and it hasn’t happened since the 1890’s.  Texas could accomplish that this decade.  

Here is a complete list of the schools that have consistent years of ten or more wins:
