This is a slow build.
8-4. Losses to Auburn, Army, Houston, and Memphis. Upset win over UCF.
I might have missed it above, but does the antitrust (whatever they're calling it) lawsuit heat up against the P5/CFP committee (whoever it's against)?
It will take 2-3 years. It's more than possible, though. You might need Temple and USF to lag a bit in order to open a window of opportunity for you.
Kinda glad to get 2 wins in while ECU was bottoming out.
We've got a good QB and will probably have 3-1 OOC (NC State, Gardner-Webb, ODU, and likely another FCS), so I think a quick turnaround like Cincy had is possible. It all depends on the offensive and defensive lines.
Skip to 1:52:39 mark below to hear a fired up Mike Houston tell Paul Finebaum to start showing his Bulldogs some respect after the big W over the Gamecocks!

The verb for Navy isn't "rebuild" it is "return"
Niumat and Ivin will spend the offseason returning to the Navy way. Return to running the offense with precision and execution so that post game pressers again feature opposing coaches saying "our scout team just couldn't replicate the speed at which they execute."
Return to service academy dominance.
Return to being #1 in fewest penalties and least penalty yards.
Return to Uconn and ECU on the cross divisional instead of UCF, Cincy, and Temple.

I like Navy Football. I live in Newport, RI and attend many NAPS football games. My Brother, a Navy Alum(90), said to me via text on the day Navy announced joining the AAC "Uh Oh! We'll have initial success, but they're going to dial us in". The play of your offensive line is such a departure from what current defensive fronts face it takes an initial As* Whooping to expose the absolute necessity for opposing defensive lineman to play a solid two-gap technique the entire game. They have to keep LB's & Safeties clean on every play. That's what can't be taught in practice until it is experienced in a game.
Navy needs to develop big talented receivers & wing/slot backs and one receiver with home run speed to scorch opponents.
Paul Johnson is gone you guys should schedule more OOC with the ACC it should help your Mid-Atlantic recruiting.

I don't see us scheduling ACC OCC. With eight conference games, Army AirForce, and ND, our 12th game will be FCS, almost certainly our Patriot League all-sports pals. I am not alone in missing our independent schedulong flexibility. Regularly scheduling Pitt, Wake, Duke was a good thing. But we get to score 60+ at ECU for our NC recruits, and we get Temple for PA recruits. We get our ACC shots in bowls from now on. We are where we are.

Tradition comes with its positives and restraints. Luckily using the fcs model gives you some flexibility if someone comes along wanting a neutral season opener or you get a great team and can swing a big game.

In regards to Cincinnati, our schedule next year is really tough. Out of conference highlights:
UCLA at home -- Year 2 for Chip Kelly and the team improved a lot late in the season
At Ohio State -- Self explanatory
At Marshall -- Marshall is coming off a 9-win season
Plus we get the best of the west on the road in Houston and Memphis. Couple that with the usual suspects in the east (UCF, USF, Temple) and it looks like it will be a struggle to win more than 8 or 9 games. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm predicting an 8-4/9-3 type of regular season next year. Obviously that's still a good season, but it's going to be tough to be in the NY6 discussion.

That is a tough OOC, if you can run the table with that it is certainly better than what UCF has done.

If they run the table, they'd be looking at the playoffs. I'm just hoping for the Belk bowl, or something like it.
Although, I thought 2018 was going to be a 6 win year +- 2 games. Maybe I'm a pessimist.
