RE: G5 Has 7 in Final AP Top 25
I want to re-address the idea that Navy couldn't even survive a season playing in a contract bowl conference, that they wouldn't end the season with their health, that they would get beaten down and ground down.

I grabbed the average O-Line weight data from post #93. I added one more line and then annotated some.

Quote:here are the average starting O-Line weights of Navy's AAC schedule this year and UF's SEC schedule this year
328.6 Georgia
322 Missouri
321.4 LSU
318 S.Carolina
316.8 Kentucky
316.4 Tennessee
* 315.8 USF *
* 308.8 Notre Dame *
* 308.2 Tulsa *

307 Auburn
306.6 Vanderbilt
* 303.8 SMU *
* 303 Tulane *
* 299.4 Houston *
* 297.6 UConn *
293 ECU
289.4 Memphis


The UF conf schedule averages 317.11 and the Navy conf schedule averages 301.275

Navy's D-Line averages 271.3 - so it would go from being outweighed by 30 pounds week after week after week to being outweighted by 45.8 pounds week after week after week.

From 12 October to 30 November, Navy played the seven teams offset by "*" with one bye week in there. Navy went 7-1, but more importantly survived. Survived well enough to dominate one of the three teams on the schedule to whom we don't give up 30 pounds per man and then to take the SEC's unused spot in the Liberty Bowl and beat a contract-bowl-conference team that held the only win over a CFP semifinalist.

Seven games in eight weeks facing an average of 305.2 pounds across the O-line - let's just call it seven games in eight weeks against "Vanderbilt sized" or "Auburn sized" O-lines.

Setting aside potential to succeed or not, just survival...

Looking at those mid- to bottom-tier SEC teams and the potential for massacre...is the difference-maker the extra 2-10 pounds per man from a team that got beat by App State or the 0.6 to 8 pounds per man from a team that got beat by Georgia State at the top of that list? Or is the difference maker the 9 pounds per man Auburn and Vandy have over UConn at the bottom of that list?

Or, maybe just maybe Navy is already out-physicalled and already survives. And (heresy coming) the mid- to bottom-tier of the SEC is not an otherworldly difference from the AAC and Navy wouldn't be destroyed by the marginal increase.

Not even predicting success in this post.
But I am suggesting that some should think about their blind acceptance that Navy wouldn't physically survive, starting with their clown-show entering arguments like "90 pounds per man"
