🔼 One of Twelve. Boise State earned the highest College Football Playoff ranking in program history as the selection committee placed the Broncos No. 12 in the first rankings of the 2024 season. With their No. 12 spot, the Broncos become the highest-ranked G5 team. This season, the Broncos have one of the nation's top offenses, ranking third in the nation with 45.8 points per game and fourth nationally with 509.1 yards per game. The defense averages an FBS-high 4.75 sacks per game and records 8.7 tackles for loss per game, ranking fourth in the country.

🔼 Postseason Action. The No. 1 Boise State soccer team will face off against San Diego State in the semifinals of the 2024 Mountain West Women’s Soccer Championship tonight at 8 p.m. This will be the Broncos’ first time facing San Diego State in the postseason since 2021, where Boise State won 1-0. After being crowned as the 2024 MW Regular Season Champions, this marks the Broncos’ first time in program history to claim sole possession of the title and the right to host the 2025 MW Soccer Championship.

🔼 Pro Ball. The Boise State Broncos will be represented by 10 players in six NFL games on Sunday. Three contests will feature former teammates facing each other, including an afternoon game featuring Los Angeles Chargers and Scott Matlock versus the Tennessee Titans and John Ojukwu.

🔼 A Cause For Remembrance. This week, Bronco fans can hear stories from members of the 1994 team as Boise State Athletics celebrates its 30th Anniversary. Boise State won three straight playoff games at home by a combined 11 points to advance to the I-AA Championship. The Broncos defeated No. 18 North Texas, No. 17 Appalachian State and No. 2 Marshall.

🔼 Cold Weather Camping. Winter camps are available for sign-up now! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to attend the Prospect Camp or the Hitting & Pitching Camp with Justin Shults.

🔼 Fall Finale. Boise State men's golf wrapped up its fall season at the Ka'anapali Classic, Nov. 2-4. In a field that included a pair of top-10 teams, Boise State finished in 21st place at 12-over par. The top finishers were Gavyn Knight and Will O'Connor, who each shot 1-over in the 54-hole event.
