In addition to the formula that Terry cites, another factor is a strong schedule of home games.
2012 opponents - USC, Oregon State, Washington State, Arizona, SJS, Duke
2013 opponents - Notre Dame, Oregon, Cal, UCLA, Washington, SJS, Arizona State
Expectation of future success + games that fans (even casual fans) really want to see = ticket sales success
