Years ago, some Big Wig at Army allegedly said that Army would never try to be part of a Major conference because its team would get beat up too much playing that kind of schedule. That alleged assertion has since become proof that none of the 3 academies would ever make the leap if offered.

Navy agreed to join the BE before it was officially demoted from Major in football, which demotion led to the death of BE football, only to be reborn as the AAC. The AAC is definitely the #6 conference for football. In fact, its quality of play is so good down through 2/3rds of the league that if it had 2 schools with large average attendance (even if just WVU and Ok St (added on), it would be accounted a Major or Power conference.

Has Navy been swamped in such a conference? Not hardly. Navy Is no worse than the 4th best AAC team and may be 2nd best - which is my assessment unless it loses to Army.

And that means that Navy would not be afraid to play ACC football and would have a good shot to do well.
