Positioning atop the West Division of the American Athletic Conference will be on the line when Memphis visits No. 24 Navy on Saturday afternoon.
The Midshipmen (4-1, 3-0) and Tigers (5-1, 2-0) are the only unbeaten teams in that division so the winner will gain a leg up on representing the West in the American Athletic Conference championship game.
