Boise State lost its season opener at Michigan State and then reeled off seven consecutive victories before losing at San Diego State, a team that lost to Washington at CenturyLink Field. That loss knocked Boise State out of the national rankings, but the Broncos came back in (No. 19, BCS, 20th AP), by winning their final three to finish 10-2. Boise State played Washington once (2007) and will meet the Huskies again in the opening game of the 2013 season, the first in renovated Husky Stadium.
