Navy? Really?
OP just wants something different? And should get it? Okay…go get it!!! Move us to the AAC so we can play Navy and Army more often plus old SEC member Tulane and defunct SWC member Rice!!!aggie-1997 said:You are right, but the OP doesn't like it and wants it changed.

They bowl committee messed this up. Why not put us vs a 9-3 Navy, in the Armed Forces Bowl?
Why did the committee piss away the opportunity to have 2 of the schools that represent the armed forces so well?
And they could've had OU vs USC and put Lincoln Riley on the spot. I'd've watched that.
First time watching college football? So much wrong here. First, the committee doesn't assign bowls outside of the playoffs. 2nd-Navy is AAC, and the SEC doesn't have a bowl tie in with that conference.
Some of these posts just make me shake my head.

USC vs Michigan: Came back to lead the game in the 4th, lost the lead with 0:37 left in the game
USC vs Penn St: Led the game 20-6 at halftime, lost in overtime
USC vs Notre Dame: Was driving to tie the game with 3:40 left in the game, threw 100 yd pick six. Had 557 total yards vs ND defense
Stop just looking at the record

Coaches telling 5-star recruits that you beat USC in the Raiders stadium in Las Vegas is sooo much cooler than telling them you beat Navy in TCU's stadium in Ft Worth.
We'll see. Terrible Oklahoma coaching keeping it competitive.halfastros81 said:

one safe place said:The name! Historically! Don't matter. USC is 6-6. Taking out their creampuffs, they have a losing record. So intriguing, lol. Are you on the edge of your seat?Hank the Grifter said:
We're gonna play this game are we?
Because USC is a much bigger name and historically successful brand.
Outside of playoffs, the bowl games don't matter anymore with opt outs, transfers, etc. The records don't matter, the name does.
Same reason why nobody gets excited when we have to play Wake Forest in a bowl or faced with the specter of meeting Baylor in a bowl game, regardless of their record.
It's not rocket science.
A&M will have enough trouble with USC!!!!!NathanChristie said:

Just gonna leave this right here. Do your homework. Previous results against common opponents doesn't matter. Just trying to make y'all some money!JPN06 said:That's a nice thought, but this is the same team that allowed 55 to Memphis and struggled to score against Rice. Navy offense also struggled down the stretch. Tulane 35 - Navy 0 is all you need to know.TexasAGGIEinAR said:
Navy is going to make OU look silly. Always take the Service Academies and the points when facing a team full of "athletes" aka undisciplined. They're gonna have that triple option rolling.
Take the Sooners -2.5 in this one. Easiest money this bowl season.

if coaches are using this as a talking point for a 5 star, this is a problem. They will not be impressed by a second tier bowl game. Just leave it off the talking point notecard.gA_CMAB_FA said:Not at all.Fdsa said:sarcasm I think. Might need to get my meter calibrated.gA_CMAB_FA said:

USC/Raiders stadium/Vegas >>>>>>> Navy/TCU stadium/Ft. Worth. No brainer.

How many people does Nave have opting out for the NFL draft or NIL portal?

That isn't the team we will be playing though. USC had 29 players hit the transfer portal. They also have a few seniors that have opted out of the bowls. Nothing about non-playoff bowls matters. It sucks, but the bowls are almost worthless. I guess it is better than no college football.
