Navy football is no longer in contention for the American Athletic Conference championship game. However, the Midshipmen can certainly play spoiler in the race.
Seventh-ranked Cincinnati (8-0, 6-0) sits atop the AAC standings with one game left and has clinched a berth in the championship game. However, there are three schools mathematically alive for the other spot in the title tilt, being held Dec. 19 at the home stadium of the higher seed.
No. 22 Tulsa (5-1, 5-0) is in the driver’s seat and would clinch its first appearance in the AAC championship game by beating Navy this Saturday.
