If the Boise State football team wins its final three Mountain West games and the conference championship game — a stretch that would include at least three bowl-bound teams — the Broncos would finish 11-2 with a nine-game winning streak.
That’s almost exactly what they did in 2014, when they won their final eight games to finish 11-2 and were invited to the Fiesta Bowl.
So if the Broncos’ hot streak continues, a debate is coming. Does Boise State have a case for the spot in a New Year’s Six bowl game reserved for the highest-ranked champion of a Group of Five conference?
