NMSU goes for a 6th win. The NCAA is reportedly hearing an appeal to allow bowl eligibility with only 4 FBS wins since San Jose St. cancelled their earlier game. Adam Rittenberg thinks they should go bowling.

NMSU should get the waiver and rightfully so. They canceled the game out of courtesy to SJSU and they tried to get games with them, Nevada, Wyoming, and Virginia Tech. So it’s not like they didn’t try. This Valpo game is for the seniors. Though it’s embarrassing they’re playing them in football.

Here he is — the great aggy defender.

It was a joke win to get bowl eligible.
 
Say what you want to say about NMSU but they finished 6-2 in their last 8 games with a coach in only his first season there. When was the last time UTEP finished a season strong in football?
1988. UTEP won 8 of their last 10. Wanna guess the 2 losses?

1 was for the “WAC Championship” against Wyoming
1 was the bowl game

Miners won 7 in a row in 2000, then lost 2 straight, the “WAC Championship” game and the bowl game.

Same in 2004, except the first loss was to bad Tulsa team that killed our Top 25 ranking.
