Easily.

2016 A/N remains number 1. 2017 A/N maybe number 2….then….? 2022 A/N or this? I’d argue this one because of spoiling the dream season and also because I hate Air Force.

Best team we’ve beat was SD State. They were 26th in polls and if they won woulda ended up 22/23

Best win was 2016 AN

My favorite was Army 21-0 over AF

This was most surprising

2016 A/N was magical.

Hanging 70 on Houston wasn't bad either

Wow! This is probably second only to breaking the streak in 2016 when we beat Navy.

This was so cathartic for so many reasons:

1) it’s Air Force!
2) first win against a ranked opponent since 1971!
3) we spoiled a lot for AF today: CIC trophy, national ranking…potential for a NY6 bid
4) after all the discouragement during the 5 game losing streak…what a surprise!
5) gives a meaningful goal to play for this season with the CIC there for the taking by beating Navy

The 21-0 win vs AF was awesome, but not as meaningful as this one. The 70-0 win vs Houston was fun, but really a meaningless game against a team that didn’t have a couple of its stars playing.

I’d agree with this list.

This was most surprising
SD state was playing with other best player and other players that didn’t want to risk injury


This is a bigger win than that.

Tashaad penny was their best player and he absolutely played and ran like a mad man. Yet we still scored and went for two for the win.

The 21-0 was awesome over Air Force. This might supplant that one though.

I don't see the comparison. All other wins listed were by good teams that were fully expected to at least compete, if not win outright. To see JM's worst team by far completely dismantle an undefeated team (not to mention their most hated rival) one full week after losing to the worst team in 1-A puts this win in a category all by itself.
