I did a little number crunching on Troy Calhoun's record at Air Force.
Record Against BCS Teams
Since Calhoun became head coach at Air Force, Air Force has played four (4) BCS teams (including Notre Dame). Air Force is 1-3 in those games, with the only victory being against Notre Dame in 2007.
Notre Dame, 2007 (Air Force 41, Notre Dame 24)
California, 2007 (Air Force 36, Cal 42)
Minnesota, 2009 (Air Force 13, Minnesota 20)
Oklahoma, 2010 (Air Force 24, Oklahoma 27)
Record Against Teams with WINNING Records, Div. I-A teams
Since Calhoun became head coach at Air Force, Air Force has opened every single season with a Division I-AA opponent. (South Carolina State, Southern Utah, Nicholls State, Northwestern State) Not including those opponents, Air Force's victories have come against mainly LOSING teams.
2007 victories -

CSU (Finished season 3-9)

Wyoming (Currently 2-9)
Navy (Currently 7-3)
CSU (Currently 3-8)
Army (Currently 6-4)
New Mexico (Currently 1-9)
*UNLV (Currently 2-8)
2 wins against teams with winning records, 3 (4) wins against teams with losing records, 1 win against a team with an even (.500) record.
Over his four year coaching career at Air Force, when excluding the I-AA teams, Calhoun only has 8 wins against teams with winning records.
I wanted to do some look-up of how Calhoun's teams have done against RANKED opponents since he took over at Air Force, but didn't really have time to do so. Perhaps later.
