Navy beats #5 Houston

I feel bad for Houston, they recruit better than any other so called "Mid Major" right up there with Kentucky and North Carolina. They really needed to run the table and beat Louisville to have a shot. Great win for Navy who have a top 10 victory since the 1990s.

And since when are Kentucky (SEC) and UNC (ACC) "mid-majors"?

Mom and Republican Stepdad are YUGE! Navy fans. Navy football is the only college sport he'll deign to watch. They were even married in Annapolis. And no, he never served.

I met when it comes to recruiting they have the 35th best recruiting class behind #34 Kentucky, 36th North Carolina which is the best recruiting class for a mid major. Marshall and Boise State are in the 70s. The Cougars recruit exclusive ly in the the Houston area signing a 5 star DT who played well against Oklahoma.

On edit: they were #5 in coaches poll who I pay more attention to
