This is a worry for me as well. I know it's 2018 and a different group of guys, but Navy put up a ton of yardage on us the last couple of meeting, and GT will have far  superior athletes (I'm assuming) than Navy. Really hard to predict what that's going to look like....

On Woodie in 2016.  The other game at Navy we should have won.  The thing with Navy is quality depth... you need it.  We have it.  This defense against Navy or the triple option doesn't concern me as much as those in the past.  We're built to withstand the triple option.  I think we can take Tech by 2 TDs

We will go undefeated and then play in the Gasparilla Bowl because the AAC sucks, P6.

If there's an undefeated team this year in the AAC they will go to the Fiesta Bowl at a minimum.

So if we go undefeated and Boise goes undefeated we jump them in your mind? Based on what the AAC street cred?

In the extremely unlikely situation that there are two undefeated teams we can parse that.  But, aside from maybe some west coast writers/etc the American winner will likely get the nod due to the conference having a much higher rate of success on the field.  Despite what you think the American rates much higher than the other conferences, it's not really close.

Hmmm.....Boise does have OK State on the road this year, and they are beginning the season ranked. Who knows what the SOS will look like at the end of the season, but Boise has 4 opponents receiving votes from the AP in the pre-season poll (Troy, OK State, Fresno, & SDSU), so the gap in SOS might not be that gigantic, and they have a head start.  Hope you're right, but if we both run the table, I don't think it's a guarantee that we pass them in the rankings. I guess we should probably worry about Elon first though....

Based on our win over the defending national champs .... Boise can't touch that.
