Huh? I agree that Navy beat Air Force that year, but I disagree that AF was #24. Sept 28th Coaches' Poll lists Air Force as #25. AP Poll lists Florida as #24, AF not ranked.
So, is it an AP mistake or did they only use the AP poll?? The difference is that AF was on one, not the other - Wake Forest was on both.
This may be true...I just remember being there and everyone making a huge deal out of navy finally taking down a ranked team. It was around that time that the "I believe that we will win" cheer became really popular. My memory may be slightly clouded, seeing as the ensuing shennanigans in DC that night almost lead me to a Black N (youngster at the time).
