Thoughts: First of all New Mexico shouldn't be bowl eligible, they are 6-6 and lost to Division 1-AA Portland State. The reason there needs to be less bowls is so we aren't wasting time watching (or in my case blogging about) .500 teams in postseason college football. This is indefensable. On top of this, their bowl is a glorified home game. The players can spend their bowl week in their dorms which, while kind of a bummer around this time of year is an advantage against a resurging San Jose State team that came within a field goal of taking Boise State to overtime, however did not beat a bowl eligible team all season. 1,000 yard rusher Rodney Ferguson should lead the Lobos to a win at home in this matchup of two coaches with great porn names.

Prediction: New Mexico 28, San Jose State 14
