Bowl projections: Boise State’s options range from Hawaii to Florida

Boise State has completed 25 percent of its regular-season schedule, and the Broncos are on track to extend their streak of bowl eligibility to 28 consecutive seasons.

National bowl prognosticators have a wide range of opinions on where the Broncos (2-1, 1-0 Mountain West) will be sent during the 2025-26 bowl season. The Arizona Bowl, Boca Raton Bowl, Hawaii Bowl and LA Bowl were all listed as possible destinations for Boise State in recent projections.

No projections had an MWC team reaching the College Football Playoff. 

The Broncos captured their second straight MWC title last season and reached the CFP for the first time in program history. 

Here is a collection of bowl projections for MWC teams entering Week 5 of the college football season.
