  "account": "New Mexico's football program made history by securing its first appearance in the AP Top 25 rankings, currently sitting at No. 22. This achievement marks the Lobos' first time in the prestigious list, following previous accomplishments in 1997 and 2016. The program's first-ever ranking was in 1982 under Joe Morrison's tenure, but they never managed a double-digit win season afterwards. With games against Nevada, UNLV, and Wyoming, followed by a home game against Air Force, the Lobos have a challenging schedule ahead. However, they still have a chance to climb higher in the rankings, as Boise State currently holds the No. 25 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings.",
  "summary": "Eight of the 21 teams that have yet to be ranked in the AP poll have been playing at the FBS level for at least 20 years.",
