Boise State Wins Mountain West Championship

Boise State secured a 21-7 victory over UNLV in the Mountain West Championship, officially clinching its first-ever spot in the College Football Playoff (CFP) and likely earning a first-round bye as a top-four seed. Star running back Ashton Jeanty delivered a standout performance, rushing for 209 yards and scoring a pivotal 75-yard touchdown, while also surpassing Marcus Allen as the fourth all-time in FBS single-season rushing yards. Despite a strong defensive effort that included six sacks, Boise State faced a resilient UNLV that managed to score a late touchdown. This victory marks Boise's sixth Mountain West title and second consecutive championship, further solidifying the program's resurgence following a coaching change last season. The Broncos are now positioned to potentially enter the CFP rankings as high as No. 3, depending on the outcomes of other conference championships. The final CFP rankings will be revealed soon, determining their path in the playoffs.
