Independents



Independent teams and bowl tie-ins:

  • Army (7-6) Beat SMU in the Armed Forces Bowl, 16-14.
  • Navy (9-4) Lost to San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl, 35-14.
  • Brigham Young University (7-6) Beat UTEP in the New Mexico Bowl, 52-24.


Bowl Tie-Ins:

  • Military Bowl--Navy versus ACC.
  • Fight Hunger Bowl--Army versus PAC 12.
  • Armed Forces Bowl--BYU versus Conference USA.

The 3 bowl tie-ins are pretty decent matchups although BYU has the chance to be upwardly mobile and move to a higher bowl with an impressive record. BYU is a first year independent and this may be a rocky year as they establish themselves on a national stage as an independent.
