With Boise State’s
42-26 win over Idaho today, the
Broncos won their eighth game of the season.
That’s the eighth straight time that Boise
State has won at least eight
games. The Broncos own the 28th
longest streak in college football history and the 22nd best in the
last 70 years.
Nebraska is
the runaway record holder with 33 consecutive seasons of eight or more
wins. The Cornhuskers accomplished their
amazing run from 1969-2001. Michigan
recorded eight or more wins from 1985-2004 for 20 straight seasons, while Princeton
(1888-1906) and Florida State
(1987-current) are tied with 19 straight years.
Boise State
can move into the all-time top 25 with two more seasons of eight or more
wins. If the Broncos can continue their
record of success, they will rank in the top ten of all-time in five years.
