On November 29, New Mexico State announced that a game against Valparaiso had been scheduled in order to make-up for the canceled game against San Jose State. The Beacons, an FCS team, had played 11 games already so the NCAA had to approve a waiver in order for the game to be played. New Mexico State reached out to other schools such as Nevada, Wyoming, and Virginia Tech.{{cite web |publisher=FB Schedules |last=Kelley |first=Kevin |url=https://fbschedules.com/new-mexico-state-adds-valparaiso-to-2022-football-schedule/ |title=New Mexico State adds Valparaiso to 2022 football schedule |date=November 29, 2022 |access-date=September 3, 2023}} As the Aggies had already played an FCS team earlier in the season the program had to get a second waiver approved that would allow the team to become bowl eligible with two wins against FCS opponents. Two days before the game, December 1, the NCAA approved the waiver due to the canceled game against San Jose State.

With the win over the Beacons, and with NCAA approval, the Aggies became bowl eligible for the first time since the 2017 season.
