As of January 7, 2024, the Jackrabbits have appeared in the [[NCAA Division I FCS]] playoffs 14 times with an overall record of 22–11. They were in the Championship game May 20, 2021, losing 23–21 to Sam Houston State. The Jackrabbits were semifinalists in 2017, 2018, and 2021. SDSU has an active streak of 12 consecutive postseason appearances at the FCS level, including the appearance in 2024. Through 2022, this was accomplished by John Stiegelmeier, the school's winningest head coach, after the program managed only one Division II playoff appearance (1979).  Beginning in 2023, Jimmy Rogers became the head coach. Zach Zenner became the first Division I football player to record three consecutive seasons of 2,000 rushing yards (2012–14). The program's national standing persuaded ESPN's College Gameday television show to come to the Brookings campus for a live broadcast of its show on October 26, 2019.  The Jackrabbits won their first FCS National Championship following the 2022 season and won their second following the 2023 season on January 7, 2024.
