Seasons |
The 2014 Texas State Bobcats football team represented Texas State University in the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bobcats were led by head coach Dennis Franchione, in his sixth overall year, and played their home games at Bobcat Stadium. They were a member of the Sun Belt Conference. They finished the season 7–5, 5–3 in Sun Belt play to finish in a three way tie for fourth place. Although eligible, they were not selected to participate in a bowl game; the Bobcats were the only eligible 7–5 FBS team not to receive a bowl bid. This was the second season in a row the Bobcats were bowl eligible but were not invited to a bowl game.
The seven wins would set the program record for most wins in a season as an FBS program, a record that would stand until the 2023 team finished with eight wins. This would be the last season the Bobcats would finish with a winning record until 2023.
