We beat the following teams that were ranked during 2017:

Memphis
Memphis
Navy (who slaughtered FAU)
USF
AUBURN

I think reasonable people should understand that this argument is silly. Clearly, FAU had gone through growing pains of learning the new coaches' system, etc. FAU also lost to Buffalo in early season. But then we curb stomped Akron, the team who beat Buffalo, in the bowl.

Late in the season, we would have dropped a 50 on Navy.

Navy's final ranking (Massey Composite): 45
Ranking of teams on whom FAU dropped a 50: 112, 65, 83, 89
Heck, teams on whom FAU dropped 40: 104, 76

Teams better than FAU that Navy played: Memphis, ND, UCF. NO 50s
Any 50s on Navy all year? No.

So probably not.

Navy lost to freaking Army!

And FAU dropped 69 on a team that beat Army.

Army Navy is pretty much the quintessential throw-out-the-records rivalry. And there's not much to throw out - they had ten wins.
But you go double-transitive-property to refute what ACTUALLY happened on the field?!?

Hahahahahahaha.

You rampaged through CUSA beating teams with an average ranking of 91.
Navy and Wisconsin beat you by three scores.
Then you went on a winning streak against CUSA...that average ranking of 91 means the bottom quartile of FBS football.

Congrats though.

Hahahahahahaha

Edited an hour later: I'm not trying to be a jerk. You could say you'd have won the way you were playing later. I still would have pointed to the relative competition. You could say while you got better we were worse in Oct-Nov. I would have pointed to our 49-7 win over UVa in our bowl. Saying 50 is just silly.

We actually scored 69 on a team that was just 21 spots below you. (and then we added another 41 in the conference championship). So, 50 against Navy is not out of the question. 2 teams scored over 40 points against Navy. And they did not have quite the offense we did.

P.S. Wisconsin was ranked 7th, if I am not mistaken, when we met them and, they were ranked somewhere around there when the season ended. We actually did better (14-31) against them than the U did.

Late Edit: Not to be a stickler, but 91 is the third quartile.
