Has Boise State Ever Won A National Championship? A Look At G5 & Mountain West FBS Title History

Boise State has never won a national championship at the FBS level. However, the Broncos have won national titles in other divisions.

The Broncos did win a NJCAA national title in 1958 and a Division I-AA national championship in 1980.

Plenty of people believe Boise State should’ve gotten the chance to play for FBS championships as well after undefeated regular seasons. That was before the College Football Playoff began.

Boise State has a chance to finally win that championship at the highest level of the sport this season. The Broncos earned a bye week and will play in the CFP quarterfinals – in the Fiesta Bowl, a game which Boise State has had plenty of success with – at 7:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Dec. 31, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Has A Mountain West Team Ever Won A College Football National Championship?

No team currently in the Mountain West has won a national championship. 

This question is likely to come up as fans talk about Boise State competing in the College Football Playoff.

Some schools which have played in the Mountain West have been national champions. TCU won a national title in 1938, and BYU won one in 1984, for example. But neither school is still in the Mountain West.

Boise State won’t be in the MW for very long either for that matter. The Broncos will be competing in the Pac-12 in 2026.

Has A Group of Five Team Ever Won A College Football National Championship?

Only one team that’s currently in the Group of Five conferences has ever been credited with a college football national championship at the highest level.

Army, which currently competes in the AAC, secured national titles in 1945, 1944, and 1914, according to ncaa.com.

Doc Blanchard won the Heisman in 1945 and was on those teams in the 1940s. Stats weren’t tracked as in-depth back then as they are now. But according to sports-reference.com, he ran for 722 yards and 16 touchdowns on 101 attempts while catching four passes for 166 yards and a touchdown in 1945. The year before, he ran for 335 yards and five touchdowns while recording 96 yards and three touchdowns on three receptions.

Glenn Davis, who won the Heisman in 1946, ran for 667 yards and 14 touchdowns while catching 13 passes for 221 yards and four touchdowns in 1944. The next year, he ran for 930 yards and 15 TDs while adding 213 yards and two touchdowns on five catches. During his Heisman season, he ran for 712 yards and seven touchdowns and caught 20 passes for 356 yards and six TDs.
