New Mexico State non-conf scheduling

[Legend]

New Mexico State 1998-2007
Average Rank = 53.2
Gms vs @ v %vs BCS non AA %BCS avW 10+ 10+% T10 T% 0 0%
52 20 32 0 38.5% 19 27 6 36.5% 5.1 15 28.8% 10 19.2% 22 42.3%
NCAA Ranks 23 82 56 61 48 49

Analysis: Mostly mid-range to good rankings for the Aggies, which puts them just above average overall, pretty much. A good number of their games have been on the road, and they have a decent number of BCS opponents on their docket, but the trend is that they're staying home more and playing BCS teams less. Other than the rivalry with New Mexico and a mini-rivalry with UTEP, there's not much consistency to their scheduling.

Fact: New Mexico State has played 19 BCS teams, but all but 2 of those games were on the road - they hosted Oregon State in 2001 and California in 2005.

Fact: 18 of New Mexico State's 52 games have been against New Mexico and UTEP, which hurts them in most areas. Those two teams aren't BCS, they don't have any 10+win seasons, they have received minimal votes, and their average wins is a combined 4.9.

2008 Outlook: @ UTEP and New Mexico, as usual. @ Nebraska might be tough, but I-AA Nicholls State is easy. Pretty balanced, but easier than the average for 2008.
