The New Mexico Lobos have entered the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time in 90 years following their game against the San Jose State Spartans on October 31, 2026. Head coach Jason Eck was congratulated after the contest at CEFCU Stadium in San Jose, California.
The historic ranking marks the program's first appearance in the AP Poll since the 1930s. The Lobos' achievement comes after a season that has drawn national attention to the Mountain West Conference team.
