To me, when I think of Boise vs Auburn, I think Auburn would win but then again Boise has beaten Auburn - type teams in NY6 games before, so I will be interested to watch.

When I think Auburn vs Navy, I think ... slaughter. On defense Auburn is going to put 8 guys who are all bigger, stronger, and faster than anyone on Navy in the box, and just blitz in and destroy their option attack. And on offense, Navy's defense will be helpless against Auburn's athletes.

That's the way I think of it, but maybe I am projecting on to others.

Agree. I was simply using Navy as a worthy consideration if it is 12-1 at season's end and Boise is also 12-1.
