Hard to believe a WAC team actually won a national championship in football, BYU in 1984.

That year, Boise State was an also-ran at 6-5 in the Big Sky. Fresno 6-6 and an also-ran in the Big West. Hawaii was in the WAC and parlayed NINE home games into a 7-4 record. Idaho was 6-5 in the Big Sky and capped the year with a 37-0 rout of Boise. Louisiana Tech was 10-5 in the Southland, only I-AA losses were to ULM and in the title game to Montana State. Nevada went 7-4 in the Big Sky and missed the playoffs. NMSU went winless in the Big West on the way to a 2-9 record. San Jose won their final three to finish 6-5 (two of those wins over now defunct Pacific and Long Beach). Utah State went 1-10 in the Big West.

That same year, ASU also lost to Montana St in the 2nd round.

We finished the year 8-4-1.
