Navy has some balls to basically down it at the 1 yard line And hope to hit the field goal with a first time kicker.

It's balls if you win. You look like an idiot if you lose.

I know there’s no way I would not have got a touchdown if it was there.

We still need to beat SMU but it’ll take a miracle for SMU to win the division now. OK miracle may be a little strong but It will take a lot for that to happen.

Can anyone explain why Memphis didn't already win the west? SMU and Houston both have 3 losses, with 2 to the west. Navy has 3 losses with 1 to the west (Memphis).

Because, in theory, we could lose our last two and end up with three AAC losses. UH only has 2 AAC losses right now and could pass us. SMU could, in theory, tie us as well as could Navy.

IF we win next week, THEN we clinch since that will give us at most 2 losses and the next best team is UH and they have 2 losses (and most likely will only have 2 losses in AAC as they play at Tulane and then at home against Navy) and we own the tiebreaker with them.

+2. Makes sense. Thank you.

Regardless, Memphis needs to win the next two games so they will be highly ranked coming into the championship game. It'd be great to finish the season with a New Years Bowl and win that too. Could be the best Memphis football season ever.
