NMSU wins! This gives me hope vs the Cajuns. I had feared they would be 5-6 with a bowl to play for when they play us, but they play at App State next week. This is a winnable game for Troy. We need to win out, and win well, to help with recruiting. GSU will be tough this week for Troy.

Congrats NMSU!

NMSU Ga State and Idaho are not the bottom 3 anymore

Who is your bottom three?

Cajuns have to win last 2 vs App and Troy to get a bowl-- not likely

So now the SBC could go completely backwards and end with only 3 bowl eligible teams....disastrous season for the SBC.......

This year ULM Texas St for sure. #3 is debateable

Maybe from a bowl standpoint but the lower half of the Sun Belt is now competitive so not really a disastrous season for the Sun Belt.

I'm not sure what happened with that Troy game but it has seemed to have woke up our team and we now have a 3 game win streak! Hoping to upset Arkansas State next week and finish up with Monroe who looks awful and a 5-7 overall with a 5-3 Sunbelt record means mega progress for the team!

Wow! NMSU with a stunning win over the Cajuns! Congrats to the Aggies! Three wins in a row at Las Cruces...Doug Martin should be Coach of the Year!

Good, now we may finally get to play in the New Orleans Bowl! The last time we were in the NO Bowl, we had to play it in Lafayette due to Katrina.

Go win Aggies. I do believe that was the wooden stake I talked about earlier.

Robinson taking that bow in the end zone after the go-ahead touchdown may have cost us the game.

If only 3 qualify I guess no Belt team in Orlando since they have 4th pick

I'm at a point where I'm almost hoping NMSU can finish the game, thereby effectively driving a wooden stake through the heart of this horrible season for the Cajuns.

BTW, how many NCAA tourney appearances have the aggies made?

Somewhere between 21 & 23, not certain though.

If there are only three could the third team go to the Cure vs Camellia?

I thought the Cure Bowl got 4th pick

No. Cure Bowl has an awful TV contract, we won't send a team there over one of the other two.

Honestly, I'm pretty confident App and stAte can start making reservations for their games now. I don't see much changing on either end barring some crazy results last two weeks.

We'd better not have to go New Orleans.

How does Montgomery against an 8-9 win MAC team sound? You'll sell that place out, easy.

Just don't want a MAC or CUSA team that made bowl eligibility by the skin of their nose. Unless it's MTSU.

Wow, you get to go to a bowl game, that we were denied twice, and you're complaining about where it will be and who your opponent might be? Just kill me now.

Then, you shouldn't have gotten drummed by App.
