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.

Utep was the biggest. Got us in our first bowl in 25 yrs. Emotional win for every long time pony fan.

+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.

Shouldn't all the wins against teams with winning records be on the list?
