Sun Belt

• New Mexico State is the next team up in Bill Connelly’s college football countdown in a due or die year for Dog Martin. Excerpt from the preview is below.

“With no contract for 2018, the time is quite obviously now for Martin at NMSU, and while S&P+ is not optimistic -- let's just say recent history matters significantly in S&P+ projections, and there's not a lot to go by -- the combination of returning production, health, and JUCO infusion could pay off.

If it does, and NMSU is closer to a No. 100 team than a No. 125 team, wins are there for the taking.”
