Boise State is now eighth in NCAA history with nine consecutive years of nine or more victories. The Broncos are behind just six teams since 1898 that have been more consistent. Boise State also now has the highest active streak, meaning that the school will move up with each successive year they put together.
One more season will put Boise State in a tie with Oklahoma (1971-1980) and Miami's greatest teams (1985-1994) for sixth place all-time.
Boise State became one of just seven schools since 1920 that have won nine or more games in at least 9 consecutive seasons. Another three did in prior to 1920. USC was poised to join that group and won eight games in the regular season, but last year’s NCAA probation prohibited the Trojans from playing in a bowl game. Thus, USC’s eight-year streak of nine or more wins comes to an end this season.
Nebraska put together an incredible streak of 33 straight years (1969-2001) of winning at least nine games. No one else is close. Florida State (1987-2000) sits in second, followed by the great Yale teams from 1886-1898. Texas ended a great streak of 12 seasons with nine or more wins this year when they finished 5-7. The Longhorns land in a tie for fourth place all-time with Florida (1990-2001).
2010 also saw the end of streaks by USC (eight) and Florida and Penn State (five seasons each).
