could also because Navy is more typically always starting seniors - so the "starts" going into the next year is low. Just a guess.

Its really all about OL injuries. Lose one senior OL who has started for 2 years and you drop any of those rankings way down.

No argument - we are just different. Freshman starters are almost unheard of (in recent memory Keenan Reynolds, 5th place Heisman votegetter, and Alohi Gilman who just transferred to Notre Dame), and since no one is on scholarship, the large roster leads to guys waiting their and starting for the first time as seniors.

Navy posters here TRIED to explain that last year when all y'all predicted 6-6 or worse.

We lost more last off-season than this off-season.

UCF's are mostly from guys that started under the old GOL regime that don't fit into the new Frost regime. I hope that some of the older guys are able to make the transition because they have a lot of pro potential.
