ANNAPOLIS, Md.—The Navy football team, off to a 7-0 start for the first time since 1978, is ranked 23rd in the latest AFCA Coaches Poll. The Mids received 86 votes in the Associated Press poll, which was the 26th most votes received.
Navy's opponent next week, North Texas (7-1), received votes in both polls, receiving the 34th most voting points. American Conference foe Memphis is ranked 25th in both polls, while Tulane and USF are also receiving votes.
Saturday will be Navy's first trip to Denton since the epic 2007 game when the Mids defeated the Mean Green 74-62. At the time, it was the highest scoring game in regulation in FBS history. Kickoff is set for 12 noon and will be broadcast on ESPN2 and the Navy Radio Network.
Navy is one of just 6 remaining unbeaten teams, joining BYU, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Ohio State and Texas A&M.
Navy has won 10-consecutive games dating back to last year, which is tied with BYU for the second-longest active winning streak in the country. Ohio State has the longest winning streak in the FBS with 11-straight wins.
The 10-game winning streak over a two-year span is tied for the longest winning streak in school history. Navy also won 10-consecutive games in 1959-60, 1917-18 and 1910-11.
A win over North Texas would give Navy an 8-0 record for just the second time in school history. Navy started 9-0 in 1926 and ended up sharing the national championship with Stanford and Alabama.
Navy has won seven-consecutive games against American Conference opponents dating back to last year (does not count last year's win over Army, which is considered a non-conference game). That is tied for the second-longest conference winning streak in the country with BYU and Georgia Tech. Boise State leads the nation with 16-straight conference wins.
Navy has won four-consecutive road games dating back to last year, which is tied for the third-longest streak in the country with BYU, Houston and North Texas. Oregon leads the way with 10-straight road wins, while Ohio State has won five in a row.
