BOISE, Idaho — It's not how any Bronco fan wanted to end the season— a loss in the Fiesta Bowl.
Still, if there's a sweet treat to wash the bitter taste out of the collective mouth of the Boise State faithful, it's entering the off-season as an AP Top-10 ranked team.
On Thursday, the Associated Press released its final rankings of the year following Ohio State's win over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff Championship. The Broncos snagged the #8 spot.

BSU hasn't ended the season in the AP Top Ten since 2011 and what's more, the team occupied a spot in the AP Top 25 for a historic span of 13 straight weeks.
In 2024, The Broncos Squad was replete with award-winning players, led by their Heisman finalist, Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty won the Maxwell and Doak Walker Awards in addition to being named a unanimous All-American, a first in Boise State Football history. Kage Casey (OL), Ben Dooley (OL), and Matt Lauter (TE) were also named to various All-American Teams.
