So until now, did they consider us mid-major?

I'd be mad, but then I realized that is basically them acknowledging that one of their best teams (LSU) lost to a mid-major.

Not acknowledging ND as a power 5 team would be like ignoring the proverbial elephant in the room.

According to ESPN, ND has always been acknowledged as a Power 5 team as far as SEC scheduling goes. Army and BYU are just being added to the list...Army for obvious reasons. For some reason the article left that bit out.

Holy bidding war Batman, Army AD phone must be ringing off the hook. Set to be the highest paid visiting team no doubt.

Thats right. The AAC...forgot that.

I get that, but Navy, AF, and Army are basically the same team regardless of who they play. It's inconsistent to knock out Navy but keep Army, even if Army remains independent.

No, it's not. If you include Navy (an AAC member), you have to include the AAC as a whole. It would be like them including just Boise State but no one else in the Mountain West.
