The San Jose State Spartans came within touching distance of a Mountain West Championship Game appearance a year ago, but enter the 2024 college football season in transition following the departure of head coach Brent Brennan. Will the San Jose State 2024 football schedule allow new head coach Ken Niumatalolo to keep the program among the Mountain West frontrunners.

According to the CFN Strength of Schedule, the San Jose State 2024 football schedule is one of the easiest in the Mountain West. The Spartans’ 12-game campaign ranks eighth in the conference and 113th overall in the nation. However, the latest early win total predictions have the Spartans slipping behind several programs in the conference this fall.
The San Jose State 2024 football schedule starts early, with a Thursday night Week 1 clash with the Sacramento State Hornets that should allow them to get off to a winning start. The Spartans also face FBS-newcomer Kennesaw State, offering two potential out-of-conference wins. However, clashes with Stanford and Washington State could provide potential pitfalls.
Mountain West play also gets an early start, with the San Jose State 2024 football schedule featuring a road game at the Air Force Falcons in Week 2. The Spartans lost comprehensively last fall, but the academy’s roster turnover could flip the script. The Colorado State Rams and Nevada Wolf Pack also offer winnable opportunities before the calendar flips to late October.

If they’re to be among the best, the Spartans will have to beat the best this fall, with games against the Boise State Broncos, UNLV Rebels, Fresno State Bulldogs, and Wyoming Cowboys on the San Jose State 2024 football schedule. While the Battle for the Valley is on the road, they’ll at least have home-field advantage against the Broncos and the Rebels.
