I doubt it. You usually put your top ranked teams in the highest paying bowls.
Cincy should wind up in that game. The Military pays a little over $1m per school, which is the highest AAC tie-in.
Navy should wind up in the next highest, the TicketMaster Birmingham Bowl (vs. SEC school) which pays about $850K.

The third one by pay out is the Gasparilla Bowl, followed by the Cheribundi Boca Raton and R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowls.

But we'll see what they decide.

Cincy played in the Military Bowl last year, so that probably means they don't go this year.

I hope, and think, Navy plays in it, but as you say we shall see.

I know a segment of Navy fans hoping for the Liberty Bowl in the AAC backup slot.

I hope Navy plays in the Military Bowl, but I can understand why the Navy students and players would want to get out of Annapolis and have a fun week partying in Memphis, so if that's what they want, I hope they get it.

I will enjoy the game and Navy - Marine Corps Stadium either way.

I Wrongly assumed that Navy is a general lock for the Military when eligible.
