List of Boise State Broncos bowl games

The Boise State Broncos college football team competes as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), representing Boise State University as members of the Mountain West Conference. Since the establishment of the team in 1932 (although joined Division I in 1971 and FBS in 1996), Boise State has appeared in 15 bowl games.[1] The Broncos have appeared in seven different bowl games, with multiple appearances in the Humanitarian/MPC Computers Bowl (4), the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas (3), the Fiesta Bowl (3) (which was part of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and now part of the New Year's Six), and the Hawaiʻi Bowl (2). Boise State was the only school from a non automatic qualifying conference to receive an at-large bid into a BCS game during the 2009 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They went to the 2010 Fiesta Bowl that season (all other appearances by non-AQ schools are actually automatic bids under BCS rules). With their most recent win in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl, Boise State has an overall bowl record of 10–5.
