Who Wins the American Athletic Conference Championship?
The stage is set for the 2016 American Athletic Conference Championship. It will be between the Temple Owls and the (19) Navy Midshipmen. Kickoff at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is set for 11 a.m. and will air nationally on ABC.
Here are three reasons why Navy is going to capture their first AAC Championship.
Home Field Advantage
The Midshipmen are 8-0 at home against AAC opponents. Not only that, they are 3-0 all-time against AAC East Division opponents.
Triple Option Is Tough
Even though the Owls are 12-8 all-time against AAC opponents on the road, I just think that they are going to have a tough time defending the triple option attack led by Junior Quarterback Will Worth.
Numbers Do Matter
The Midshipmen are 6-2 all-time when ranked in the Associated Press as well as the College Football Playoff Rankings Combined.
