Navy topped then-No. 21 SMU, 35-28, in Annapolis, Md., Nov. 23. The victory propelled the Midshipmen back into the top 25 rankings. The Midshipmen completed their regular-season home slate with an undefeated 6-0 mark, the first time Navy has gone undefeated at home in the regular season since 2016. Navy is 8-2 overall and 6-1 in the American Athletic Conference.
Here's what we learned:
1. Navy still has a shot at the AAC West Division crown outright should No. 18 Memphis lose to No. 17 Cincinnati on Nov. 29.
The Tigers own the tiebreaker by virtue of their 35-23 victory against Navy Sept. 26. Even if Memphis wins, the Mids would own a share of the West Division title with a win against Houston Nov. 30. It would be Navy's third title since joining the league since 2015 (shared in 2015, won it outright in 2016).
