Andrew Doughty of Hero Sports has ranked the Midshipmen the 32nd college football team in the nation. Citing their record from last season (9-5, 7-1 in the AAC), head coach Ken Niuamatalo and the program’s stability.
“Navy won three total games between 2000-02,” stated Doughty, when writing about the Midshipmen. “They've won 28 the last three years, the highest three-year total in program history.
One of the most stable programs in college football continued winning last year and they'll do so again in 2017. While the talent is there for another run at 10 wins and the American title, a brutal schedule will be challenging.
