summary:

"Joining a conference often results in an upgrade in competition; out of the gates, that's not the case for Navy.....Navy has proved that sustained top-40 capability is possible....Niumatalolo will soon have to find a replacement for Reynolds, but that's a worry for the future...if the defense can avoid losing too much ground, Navy might be a favorite to play in its new conference's first title game......Navy might be the most proven entity in the West."

Sorry but can't agree with the summary. Beating VMI, Texas St, San Jose St, Army, South Alabama and Temple does not show much to me.
