My oh my. That would be something!

PD
In this scenario we would play the AAC Championship game verses Navy on Dec 6th and the Army/Navy game on Dec 14th.

Imagine the chaos.

I’d want to go to both but imagine the ticket demand for the AAC championship game…. People already can’t get into Army Navy this year!

It will probably hold for a while. Navy’s next 3 games are UAB (111), AF (114 - makes me smile every time), and Charlotte (128). All ranked below 100.

Memphis plays MTSU (126), S. Fla (79), N Texas (84), and Charlotte (128). Unless they fold the tent like AF has since we beat them, they should win those which makes Navy’s win over them as a ranked team look pretty good (which it was).

Of course, Navy plays ND after that. ND did lose to N. Illinois, which is currently ranked 2 spots above Navy, so who knows.

Curiouser and curiouser.
DREAMS ARE MADE OF THIS !!
However, why the hell does Army and Navy have to play Notre Dame? ....
Imagine how you would feel if Army were to win that game Rab? You don't get that playing bottom feeders. Glory goes to those who rise to the challenge, not those who shrink from it. Go Army!
I would be a very proud man if Army ever beat Notre Dame. Back in 1958 when Army last beat Notre Dame (many, many years ago) I actually shed a few tears that day (14-2). Tears of joy.
After 20 straight attended AWAY game from Hawai'i (twice) To Louisiana to Boston and many in the middle, I finally attended an AWAY win.
My son said to me at game's end, " Dad you are crying!" I responded, Yeah, I am. It's been a lifetime!"
I would like to have the same feeling again if we ever beat Notre Dame. It's been a long time and probably my last time.
I put a lot into the team I love. Alway have.
