Boise State Now One Year Away from #6 All-Time for Consecutive Eight-Win Seasons

Boise State now is just one season shy of moving into sixth place all-time for the most consecutive eight-win seasons.  The Broncos are seventh in the last 107 years with 15 straight years of eight or more victories.

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 (1987-2005) are tied with 19 straight years.

Georgia and Texas ended great streaks of 13 and 12 consecutive seasons, respectively, in 2009.
