Rankings from AP Poll
The 2023 New Mexico State Aggies football team represented New Mexico State University in the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Aggies played their home games at Aggie Memorial Stadium in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and competed as a first-year member of Conference USA. They were led by second-year head coach Jerry Kill.
The season was one of the most successful in decades for the Aggies, as a win over Western Kentucky on November 11 gave New Mexico State their first eight-win season since 1965 and a six-game winning streak, their longest since 1960. The victory also clinched a spot in the Conference USA Championship Game in the Aggies' first season in the conference.[1] One week later, as 23.5-point underdogs, New Mexico State upset Auburn 31–10, the program's first-ever win over an SEC team.[2]
The Aggies also clinched bowl eligibility in back-to-back seasons for the first time since playing in the Sun Bowl following the 1959 and 1960 seasons.
