For the third consecutive year, the Gildan New Mexico Bowl and ESPN are upping sustainability efforts to create awareness and educate the fans and participating teams about  some easy steps to help the environment.

The field is set for the seventh annual Gildan New Mexico Bowl with the Arizona Wildcats accepting the invitation offered by the Gildan New Mexico Bowl today. The game, slated for Saturday, Dec. 15, at 11 a.m. MT/1 p.m. ET, pits the Pac-12 member against the Nevada Wolf Pack. Owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television (ERT), a subsidiary of ESPN, the bowl game will kick off the FBS postseason from University Stadium on the University of New Mexico campus and airing nationally on ESPN, ESPN 3D and ESPN Radio.

There are 70 out of 124 teams that are eligible to fill one of the 62 open bowl slots this postseason. The teams that have already accepted bids are Nevada (Gildan New Mexico), Utah State (Famous Idaho Potato), BYU (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia), San Diego State (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia), Louisiana-Lafayette (R+L Carriers), SMU (Sheraton Hawai`i), Air Force (Bell Helicopter Armed Forces) and Navy (Kraft Fight Hunger).

The nation’s college football analysts are making predictions for the post season, which kicks off in less than four weeks. For the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, the predictors are torn between Arizona and Arizona State out of the Pac-12. Amongst Mountain West members, the majority favor Nevada.
