For Boise State, years of being the best program outside the power conference have finally culminated in a chance to play for the national title. Undefeated seasons in 2006 and 2009 ended with Fiesta Bowl wins but came before the four-team Playoff. This season is Boise’s 10th with 12 wins since 2002.

The College Football Playoff, in its first year with a 12-team field, began Dec. 20 and ends Jan. 20, 2025. Find a full schedule and all results here,
