    I believe you are right, I believe the CFP rankings will not be updated until middle of next October. Whether ESPN, and thus many of the media, decide to continue publicizing that ranking in the advent of an Army win is on them.

    We are now favored by one site and two sites have it down to a pick 'em.

    What is Vegas thinking? They need to go visit with those "knowledgeable CFB fans" instead of adjusting according to those wagering on the game.

    Our Dawgs are now a 3.5-4 point favorite.

    We can beat Navy if: we don't have any turnovers; play focused, smash-mouth football; stop at least 4 of Navy's drives down the field; and score a touchdown 90% of the time when we have the ball!!

    I predict we will stop 6 or 7 drives and will score pretty much at will. If we are "on" (unlike the USM game, especially), we will take this one easily. If the team that showed up at USM is our team, we will be in trouble.

    I think Tech can beat Navy if our football team scores more points than their football team.

    Re: Lines of Interest

    I am happy we are playing Navy. Have been to games at Army and Navy and one thought crosses my mind every time. Every player on the field has committed his future to defending our country and willing to die for each of us. Not trying to sound cheesy-- just walking around their facilities and seeing the wall of former players who died in combat is something you do not forget. May be the only teams we play that make me think about Bigger issues ... that said-- I see they scored 75 (smu) 66 ( e Carolina) before losing to Temple and Navy. both of us come in on 2 game losing streaks and PRIDE comes in to play. Like everyone on BBB --I sure do not want to remember this season as 3 game losing streak to end season....

    frustrating to have senior transfers who chose not to maintain academics-- couple of these guys would be much better against run than they were against pass. Sad when you will be remembered for what you chose not to do than what you did. Hopefully Ferguseon can create some turmoil on their option play -- 141 points in 2 games combined before losing QB . we need TT and CH at full speed and Craft has to get back to being Craft again

    Heck we would beat Alabama if we did that. I like this game plan. Would you ever consider coaching the Dawgs?

    Not cheesy at all. I know that at least one Cadet who was on the field during our 2008 game at West Point has been killed in combat. A number of other have been seriously wounded. Also, I found this in a story from December, 2014:

    Since 9/11, 95 graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, and 16 from the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
