Temple vs Navy conference final sounds boring

Sure the ratings will reflect that too

AAC at its finest.

Well then...The nation wants the Knights in the conference championship game. Let it be so!!

Doubt the nation would watch us either.

 

[PothTXKnight]

We can't even get a crowd of 40k to watch an entire game.

The Conference is better with a good UCF and Aresco knows this. We gave the conference instant legitimacy and it's a campus networks love coming to to cover games.

Not really, AAC championship game at Navy will get attention. Temple being close will guarantee a sell out. Navy will have back to back national televised games.

Because we don't sell beer.

Navy hosting anyone would guarantee a sellout in their 34,000 seat stadium, even with just a week's notice...as Navy has never played for a conf championship...so I'm sure everyone up there would be pumped up for that game.

I believe that they have overflow lawn seating, maybe they get 40,000 in there. They had 38,225 for an Air Force game a few years ago.

That's gonna be a fun road trip next year. Hope we can get a lot of Knights in Annapolis. Fun town.

The AAC has the most interesting conference competition this year. It could wind up being a number of teams in that championship.

Have they even been on TV yet?

[UCFProf]

The AAC/former Big East has had such turnover that few even associate football-only Navy as a member of our conference. I still don't think of Penn State and Nebraska as part of the Big Ten (although Saturday's white-out improbable win in Happy Valley went a long way).

 

[firm_bizzle]

Yes. The Houston game was on tv. I just wish that we had 2 ranked teams in our championship.

 

[UCFProf]

If Temple wins out, they will be ranked, too.

 

[SiberianKnightmare]

Temple's remaining conference schedule is 4 of the conference's 5 worst teams. Ugh.

Navy? Pretty sure most games nowadays are on tv of some sort. I count espn3 as tv.

 

[Stetson_1883]

ANYTHING can happen in college football, esp. the AAC. How many times have we seen huge favorites fall to cellar dwellers? Im confident that Temple will blow it with one of those 5 teams.

And yet with all these major upsets, there are still several mediocre undefeated teams remaining after the 8th week.

CBS Sports still owns Navy home game TV rights thru next season...which is another reason why the AAC/ESPN deal will have greater value starting in 2018 when Navy home games fall under the AAC contract.

Also, don't believe Nielsen rates CBS Sports Network broadcasts.

 

[jlcolvin]

I think the best scenario is for Temple to lose another game and USF and UCF to win out until their match. That would be an epic rivalry game where the winner goes to the CCG. Would love for that to happen but our lack of defensive knowledge stands in our way.
