Invited for the first time to the eight-team postseason in the College Division, Boise State accepted a bid to play Chico State in the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento, California. The teams last met in the season opener in 1970, the first-ever game in Bronco Stadium. Boise State was ranked seventh in the final small college poll, released by the Associated Press in late November. The game included a wager between the respective governors of the two states, Cecil Andrus of Idaho and Ronald Reagan of California. The bet was for three-day vacations, at either Sun Valley in central Idaho or Disneyland in southern California. Reagan invited the Chico State team to his office the day before the game and encouraged the Wildcats to go out and win for the state of California. ==NFL draft==
