TV Schedule: Friday, Nov. 27, 12:00 p.m. ET, ABC

Stadium: TDECU Stadium

Line: Navy (-4)

The AAC might not get as much national attention as the big boys in college football (you know, like the SEC and Big 10), but teams in this conference have certainly made quite a bit of noise in 2015.

The Navy Midshipmen, in particular, are ranked No. 15 in the College Football Playoff rankings. As for the Houston Cougars, well, they are ranked in the AP and Coaches polls.

Considering Navy is undefeated in conference play and Houston has just one loss, one could say this contest has plenty on the line. The winner of this matchup will end up making the conference title game, after all. The winner could also be part of the New Year’s Six.

Navy’s only loss came against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and it also holds a very solid win over the Memphis Tigers. Houston’s one loss came against the Connecticut Huskies and it also knocked off Memphis.

As usual, home-field advantage should play a pretty big role in this one, but not big enough for the Cougars to come out on top. Not when Navy has a guy like Keenan Reynolds, who is actually making a late push in the Heisman race.

So much glory will be won in this one, but give me Navy, a team that has won five straight.

PREDICTION: Midshipmen 33, Cougars 28
