I would put the Compass Bowl win over Pitt at #2. We had a great turnout in Birmingham, more than Pitt. We completely dominated a decent BCS school, and it's one of only two wins over BCS schools (Wash St the other) under JJ.

Besides the win over TCU this is such a sad list, and lets face it every "big" win was on every teams down year. I hate to sound like a debby downer (given our new year is crap so far) but lets face reality. We havent beaten an OU or a Big 12 team (that actually has been in the Big 12 for awhile). We havent won anything that can seriously be bragged about in a conference room. Before anyone say Im not a fan, I have taken the beating of laughter when I tell co-workers that we whooped Fresno State. They proceeded to say, Who cares, enjoy your meaningless conference. This is obviously just a little joking around except for the fact its true.

Pitt had no head coach.

+1. That and the TCU game last year. IMO this year's hawaii bowl has no business being that high on the list.

I'd put the Nevada win at #1 (really big deal) and the TCU game at #2.
