Now that's a trivia question: When was Temple in the same division as SDU and BSU and it was called the "West?"

Navy is by far the most well known and historical football brand in the conference. The team is nationally known and probably had no interest scheduling games annually in the locations of the AAC East teams. Remember, Navy has/had an out option of the ACC. Putting Navy in the West is just the cost of convincing Navy to join the conference, IMO. I would have preferred to see the conference stay true to the geography but I do like how I'll be able to see Tulane play once every two years close by in Annapolis.

If anything we should be happy because our division is VERY winnable.
