Coach Ken Niumatalolo firmly stated Thursday that he feels good about the Navy football team one week before opening preseason practice. Niumatalolo, entering his 15th season helming the Midshipmen, based his assessment off what he saw throughout the offseason. Navy was forced to alter its normal routines in 2020 and 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. This offseason was back to normal. "I'm really excited about this team. I love what our players did during the offseason from January to now. They've been working really hard," Niumatalolo said during the American Athletic Conference football media day. "Just a selfless group that cares about one another. I'm really excited about the makeup of our football team." Apparently, outsiders don't have nearly as positive an outlook on the Midshipmen.

Navy was predicted to place 10th out of 11 teams in the AAC preseason media poll, which was released Thursday morning. Navy, coming off consecutive losing seasons, received 61 total votes - 10 less than ninth place South Florida. Temple, which finished 3-9 overall and 1-7 in the AAC last season, was picked last with just 28 votes. "I think a lot of it is based on the last two years and the way our record has been," Niumatalolo said. "We like being picked as the underdog." - Capital Times

Appalachian State's football team is predicted by Sun Belt Conference football coaches to repeat as East Division champion in 2022. Ten of the 14 coaches voted the Mountaineers first, with Coastal Carolina expected to finish second. Louisiana was the choice by 10 of 12 coaches to win the West Division. Mountaineers running back Camerun Peoples and offensive lineman Cooper Hodges are projected to make first-team All-Sun Belt Conference.

Quarterback Chase Brice, running back Nate Noel and lineman Damion Daley are predicted to make second team All-Sun Belt on offense, with linebacker Nick Hampton, linebacker Trey Cobb and defensive back Steven Jones picked for the second-team defense.

Vanderbilt football coach Clark Lea alluded to his ultimate goal as the coach of the Commodores. "But it's because of (Chancellor Daniel Diermeier and AD Candice Lee's) support that we're aiming to build the best football program in the country at Vanderbilt University," Lea said Tuesday at SEC Media Days, "where we have the best school in the best city in the best conference with the best facilities on the horizon." He later said again with more pointed language: "We know in time Vanderbilt football will be the best program in the country." Both quotes were tucked into a 17-minute opening statement for Lea at the main podium at SEC Media Days. In his first year at Vanderbilt, Lea's Commodores went 2-10 and winless in the SEC. That included an opening-week loss to FCS East Tennessee State.

Vandy can be one of the better programs in the SEC - consecutive nine-win seasons in the James Franklin era a decade ago can speak to that - but the best program in the country? That's a very lofty goal. Lea's comments about the work it'll take to get there have not changed from Year 1 to Year 2. It's going to take a lot to get the Vanderbilt Commodores to the upper echelon of the top conference in college football. "As I said a year ago, there are no cheat codes, shortcuts, no hacks that will allow this to happen overnight," Lea said. "This is still about going the long, hard way, independent of the trends and headlines generating the most attention right now in college football." - Tennessean
