SMU will take on Navy on Saturday as it looks to garner bowl eligibility. Here are five things SMU fans need to know about the Midshipmen.
1. Where they stand -- Navy is currently 8-2 overall and sits atop the American Athletic Conference West division standings. Navy's only conference loss came to South Florida four weeks ago in a shootout. The Midshipmen, however, suffered a strange defeat to Air Force early in the season, which should give SMU hope of pulling an upset. But that's not all -- five of Navy's eight victories this season have come by seven points or less, including against bottom feeders like UConn and Tulane.
