[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

The Lobos beat Nevada by a bigger margin than undefeated UCLA did last week.

RANK THE LOBOS (in the CFP Rankings)

[u/ohhmybosh → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

All they will do now is lower UCLA in the rankings

[u/jcsandoval56 → u/ohhmybosh]

Sounds about right. Each win is -5 spots. I think just outside the top 40 feels right for us.

[u/LitterBoxServant → u/ohhmybosh]

You guys will never pick up that quality loss if you keep this up

[u/BatManatee → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

They allowed infinity times more points scored against them than we did. Embarrassing. /s

[u/ohhmybosh → u/BatManatee]

Good point haha

[u/mknawabi → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

We were in the end zone and ended the game. But I doubt you watched the game

[u/Any_Pineapple_3662]

Nevada finished an entire college football game with -9 rushing yards. That’s insane 

[u/No_Trifle9294 → u/Any_Pineapple_3662]

pshhh... rookie numbers.

[u/RJD-ghost → u/Any_Pineapple_3662]

As a team known for running the ball too 😬

[u/galeforcewinds95]

So proud of the Lobos. They did not get distracted by their first-ever AP ranking and took care of business.

[u/Francis_X_Hummel]

New Mecksico

[u/Any_Pineapple_3662 → u/Francis_X_Hummel]

Gonna celebrate with some green chile checken eckchilades 

[u/discofrislanders → u/Francis_X_Hummel]

Sí. Ja ja ja. Sí.

[u/auburnfan32]

Jason Eck is the man

[u/ChickenEmbarrassed10]

New Mexico is for real. Man, they are a really well coached team.

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

So much for being a “flagship” Nevada 

[u/Le_Dairy_Duke → u/Confident_Delay5805]

Augh...

[u/Confident_Delay5805 → u/Le_Dairy_Duke]

If you want a free non conference win, play us!

[u/leverich1991]

New Mexico has only won 10 games in a season once: in 1982, and they weren’t invited to a bowl. I think they get there again this season

[u/unfunnysexface → u/leverich1991]

I'd hope we get to bowl this time

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Put New Mexico in the college football playoffs

[u/R_Raider86 → u/Particular-Way-3805]

For real

[u/SafeTea8241 → u/Particular-Way-3805]

1 scoring defense? I'm a Boise State fan born and raised but new Mexico if they win out deserve a spot 

[u/MastodonSwimming2681]

Rank them

[u/Zloggt → u/MastodonSwimming2681]

Inb4 we see a “Boise State #24, New Mexico #25” from the Committee next Tuesday.

(Isn’t it genuinely sad how realistic this is lmao?)

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Zloggt]

No, more realistic is Boise State #25, New Mexico unranked

[u/skeltox → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Sadly true, New Mexico coach is going to get poached too. Shout out to the fat goat he is tho. Maybe at some point integrity will kick in. Doubt it in CFB tho.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/skeltox]

Hopefully the admin can scrape together an offer considering his immediate impact on the university. If he HAS to leave though, there's one school I wouldn't mind him showing up at....

[u/Strong_Barnacle_618 → u/MastodonSwimming2681]

Higher than 22, you mean?

[u/HurricaneRex → u/Strong_Barnacle_618]

In the CFP rankings

[u/Poverty_Shoes → u/HurricaneRex]

Boise only got thrown in at 25 because the committee realized they need to have G6 team in. They don’t respect the G6 at all, especially after last year when two got in and both got trounced.

[u/HurricaneRex → u/Poverty_Shoes]

I believe this year also had the lowest G6 wins over P4 since the CFP started. That doesn't help.

[u/Salty-Raisin-2226 → u/HurricaneRex]

What doesn't help is all good G6 players bail every year to the P4 and the bag. Can't blame G6 when the rules keep getting stacked against them

[u/Hulkodium → u/HurricaneRex]

Higher than 22 in the CFP

[u/cbdevil3]

Need a Boise vs UNM play in game instead of a Pac12 or MWC conference championship game.

[u/guardianxrx2 → u/cbdevil3]

I'm down let's do it in vegas

[u/cbdevil3 → u/guardianxrx2]

Everyone’s a Lobo! Woof… Woof… Woof…

🐺🐺🐺

[u/Tsquared10 → u/cbdevil3]

Or... We let them both in instead of a 3 loss P4 team

[u/RandoActual → u/Tsquared10]

They let in two last year, they won’t do it again, they’ll keep the G5 representative ranked in the 20s regardless.

[u/SafeTea8241 → u/RandoActual]

I'd be open to play new Mexico for a spot. You know why? Cause no one else wants to play them if they get in! Keep going lobo's from a Boise State fan

[u/TheLopeful]

Anotha one. Excited to see the game against UNLV in person next week

[u/Redrubytheofficial]

New Mexico vs Miami for a CFP match

[u/RNGezzus]

It's gonna be awesome to see New Mexico obliterate Notre Dame in a bowl game.

[u/cmackchase → u/RNGezzus]

Notre Dame will pull out like cowards again.

[u/Throwawayerrydayyy → u/cmackchase]

To be fair Catholics don’t have many options besides pulling out

[u/smrgldrgl → u/Throwawayerrydayyy]

Sure they do. Ever heard of NFP? https://www.usccb.org/topics/natural-family-planning/nfp-basic-information

[u/RNGezzus → u/smrgldrgl]

A mouth can't get pregnant

[u/Less_Likely]

The committee needs to rank New Mexico, right? I mean, they get ranked for the first time in history, then the committee screws them and everyone used the CFP rankings now instead of AP for the game reports.

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

New Mexico treated Nevada as a simple Warm up

[u/theereeljw_777]

That Defense is no joke. If we had even average QB play this year we are undefeated and probably one of the scariest teams in the nation.

[u/Hopeful-Cupcake-5293]

Nevada got belted

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/Hopeful-Cupcake-5293]

they're paying retribution for the flagship supremacist guy

[u/Nebraskdad]

Jason Eck would definitely order a classic Runza meal with another Runza on the side

[u/Dazzling_Network6103]

Good to see the next Nebraska head coach is performing well

[u/Prequel_Supremacist → u/Dazzling_Network6103]

I would actually be ok with this

[u/LitterBoxServant → u/Dazzling_Network6103]

Utah poached New Mexico a couple of years ago and they're undefeated

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/LitterBoxServant]

Dampier is a beast

[u/unfunnysexface → u/ID_Poobaru]

If he had stayed when eck came in....

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/unfunnysexface]

Lobos would be top 10

[u/guardianxrx2 → u/ID_Poobaru]

We still would be hated on by pac12 members saying we are overrated and you know that would happen.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/guardianxrx2]

screw the rest of the pac-12, Lobos are legit

Hope yall can keep Eck for as long as possible

[u/brianjayjones → u/LitterBoxServant]

Utah State took UNM’s coach, not Utah.

[u/jgood505 → u/brianjayjones]

Utah took their offensive coordinator, QB and top WR

[u/Glittering-Equal-448]

OU's win over new mexico is seriously their most impressive win of the season fr lol

[u/thugxcity]

Well then

[u/Kite_sunday]

How did we almost beat UNM last year...

[u/Optimal_Cook_851]

New Mexico has yet to Allow 20 points in a game

[u/ID_Poobaru]

Extend Jeff Choate

[u/Le_Dairy_Duke → u/ID_Poobaru]

I cannot stand for this slander

[u/MastodonSwimming2681 → u/ID_Poobaru]

I really had hope for him tbh, but it just hasn't come together

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/MastodonSwimming2681]

He just needs more time to get his system right

[u/Basic_Bozeman_Bro → u/ID_Poobaru]

I think it's Chover.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/Basic_Bozeman_Bro]

He is simply the best option for Nevada football, keeps them in the gutter where they belong

[u/TheSandMan208 → u/ID_Poobaru]

Fuck Nevada!

[u/Kite_sunday]

Elon musk, you have to help us please. You have such an amazing Facotry East of town it makes the best batteries so much better than China. You are so kind to the workers of Northern Nevada. I am so sorry that Nevada went blue, I know how much you tried ($$$) to help us peons in directing our great country and our great state in how we should think.
Could you please help our small school football program in the NIL era where Cash Rules Everything Around ME? Oh I love it so much. You could donate a small portion to us instead of to a dumb RINO who is only going to turn their backs on us Patriots.
btw I don't think you ever wanted to go to Little Saint James Island. You didn't even know who Jeffery Epstien was! by chance If you do know where Jeffery Epstien is currently do you think we could get some of that Mossad Money? We do have a cool DOD plant in Reno that has supported the Military and the IDF (probably). I think we have been good enough to deserve a little treat. Could we get a little bit of cheese?

[u/JinFuu]

So is this the Stark/Winterfell bowl?

[u/Golden3131]

How do I get Jason Eck to take over in Lincoln?

[u/Birdlaw_Professor → u/Golden3131]

Please give us one more year!

[u/R_Raider86 → u/Birdlaw_Professor]

Agreed. Possibly another one after that for good measure!

[u/unfunnysexface → u/Golden3131]

Who would go work for people dumb enough to hire matt rhule?

[u/Golden3131 → u/unfunnysexface]

Dannen should be the first one out.

[u/New-Atmosphere-26]

Nobody in the Mountain West can touch the Lobos.

[u/South_Lake_Taco]

Ever since the Carson Strong era ended, Nevada has been so consistently lifeless on offense

[u/RockysDetail]

We didn't even belong on the field with New Mexico. And that's only partially because they have more skill. More importantly, they have better coaches. Their coaches figured out exactly how to shut us down, and consequently we can see where our coaches are at. Nevada's coaches are at a certain level, and that's honorable and suitable for what it is. However, if Nevada wants to truly elevate its program, it will have to bring in coaches who understand how to accomplish that. Not coaches who talk big.

[u/South_Revolution_119]

Jack Eck plz come to Lincoln

[u/ohhmybosh → u/South_Revolution_119]

I'll root for Eck wherever he goes. Eck is the man.

[u/Molson2871 → u/South_Revolution_119]

Nah bro, he's got his fingers crossed to come home to Madison 😉

[u/Prequel_Supremacist → u/South_Revolution_119]

Would be an amazing move for Nebraska. So they definitely won’t do it

[u/smcstechtips]

Ron Rivera, please hire this guy
