Boise State One of 11 Schools To Achieve 10-20 Club Four Times Since 1980

(Note:  do not accept cheap imitations of the 10-20 Club.  Some schools will admit themselves into the club by needing one or two postseason games in football to win ten games, then playing 5-10 extra games in basketball to achieve 20 wins.  By requiring a school to win 10 regular season football games and 20 regular season basketball games, it is tougher to make the 10-20 Club, and thereby more elite.)

Boise State is one of eleven schools in the nation to achieve the 10-20 Club (ten regular season wins in football and twenty regular season wins in basketball) in the last 35 years.  Interestingly enough, Boise State and BYU are the only two schools in this ultra-elite group not in the so-called "power conferences".  Obviously, "power" is in the eyes of the beholder, for only 9 of those 62 schools have achieved what the Broncos and Cougars have accomplished.

Oklahoma is the master at achieving this remarkable feat, having reached the 10-20 Club 11 times since 1980.  Ohio State and Texas have accomplished the feat seven times, while BYU and Florida have reached the Club six times each.  Other schools in the elite club are Michigan and Wisconsin (5 each) and Boise State, Louisville, Notre Dame and Oregon (4 each).
