Tulane Secures AAC Title Game Spot

Tulane secured its place in the AAC Championship Game with a decisive 35-0 victory over Navy, setting up a showdown with No. 24 Army on December 6 for a potential spot in the College Football Playoff (CFP) field. Under first-year coach Jon Sumrall, Tulane, ranked No. 25, has won seven consecutive games after a rocky start to the season, boasting an undefeated record in AAC play. The Green Wave's success is largely attributed to their offensive prowess, with standout performances from players like Makhi Hughes, who has been a crucial factor with over 1,200 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. Despite their strong position, Tulane must contend with the possibility of Boise State securing the Group of Five's automatic CFP bid, which would require Boise to lose twice. The upcoming AAC title game is critical, as both Tulane and Army have shown impressive seasons, with Army currently leading the conference. This game is pivotal for Tulane's playoff aspirations, as a win could enhance their chances significantly.
