I base it on their track record.


It is an obvious concern for their players with regards to their military careers, but it is something they have accepted as a part of the calling. The use of P5 and G5 is a bit murky in this regard. A 300 pound lineman falling on you is still a 300 pound lineman regardless if his team is Buffalo or Miami. Too much is made of the issue of being able to perform week-after-week in a P5 conference because there is very little difference.

The tempo of the game is usually faster at a P5 and the plays are more complex - again usually. But all-in-all, there is very little real difference on the field. WVU played Army in a bowl last season and Army did just fine. All three of the academies play well in their conferences as well as OOC games.

As for depth, I think outside of the top 20 programs in the nation, everyone has depth issues of some magnitude. Half of the teams out there have 2 or more QBs on the rosters still trying to figure out who is the #1 QB for this season. Some receiver corps are so thin, one injury and that team is run-only playbook for the next few weeks.

I think they would be the best addition to the ACC for many reason but mostly because no one hates them enough to turn them away if they asked to be in.
