Why North Texas has done well

They have done well the last few years because of scheduling. To me it seems like the last 6-8 years, NT has scheduled "tough" non-conference games, especially against the Big XII, and although they usually go 0-fer in those games, it seems to have toughened up the team for their non-conference schedule.
It also doesn't hurt to use that as a selling point to recruits. The fact that they will get a chance to play in those big games.
