What would be interesting is what happens if we beat WMU and Navy loses to Temple.
San Diego State or South Florida could be in the mix then.
To me it's crazy that Western Michigan should have to be concerned about going undefeated and getting passed by a two-loss team. What more could the Broncos have done? Basically the only thing anyone can hold against them is they almost lost a road game to a Big Ten team that finished above .500 in the league.
South Florida would not be in the mix because they didn't win their conference. It's the highest-rated conference champ.
It's not crazy for Navy to get in before WMU. I'm a MAC fan, but the AAC is without a doubt much, much better than the MAC. The AAC West, as well, is the best Group of 5 division with Navy, Memphis, Houston, and Tulsa. Navy has beat three teams who have been ranked this season, including the #6 team in the country, and has a close road loss to 10-2 USF which is currently ranked adn 9-3 Air Force (who just beat Boise St). WMU only will have wins over two teams with winning records (EMU, Ohio). If there's a qualification that an undefeated team gets in first then it's theirs, but if a committee looks at the resumes it could be a close decision.
