True, we need to beat A&M and/or Colorado.

If we win one more game, we go to the B12 Championship
game.  Solich failed to reach the B12 Championship game
in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003.

To be fair we should compare like with like.  Our B12 
schedule has a four-year cycle, so to assess our progress 
in 2006, we should compare it to 2002 (four years ago):

Yes, it definitely is progress.
