Boise State Now Holds Modern Record for Most Wins in an 18-Year Period

With Boise State's win over BYU last week, the Broncos eclipsed the Modern Record for most wins by a major college football team in any 18-year period.  Boise State and Nebraska were previously in a tie with 192 wins.  The Broncos still have a minimum of five games remaining and could play as many as seven.  

They'll still be shy of the all-time record held by Yale in the early years of college football.  Those teams routinely played 13 games or more each year.
