If it holds true when pairings are officially announced on Sunday, the UW and Boise State (9-4 overall, 6-2 conference) will play each other next Saturday -- on the first day of bowl games -- at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, with kickoff at 5 p.m. ABC will televise the match-up.

Boise State entered the championship game riding a 14-game consecutive home sellout streak, which began during the 2024 season and extended through every regular season home game in 2025. Their previous home contest on Nov. 22 against Colorado State drew a packed house, with a reported 32,819 fans in attendance, continuing the tradition.
