I’ve noticed the service academies have started to win more in recent years

My theory is it is a direct correlation to the lack of discipline throughout most of the sport and the me culture that recent changes in college football have produced have made these undersized kids who just execute and do their jobs hard to stop

i suspect you have bias regarding the "service academies". the service isn't nearly as disciplined as you think. if they're winning, it's bc of increased talent.

Army is slightly up
Air Force is down

the option is sucks to prepare for and hardly anyone else runs it.
They are also really good degrees that at the moment doesn't come with the worry of some goat fricker shooting an RPG at you.

i think it has more to do with them changing and no longer being triple option only offenses. they are more in line with other teams now who throw it a lot

Army throws the ball less than 9 times a game..

Navy just had one of their worst seasons in recent memory but both army and Air Force are solid. I think it has more to do with schedule than anything though.

if anything, they are doubling down on the triple

Army is the only one with a notable uptick in success in recent years.
On the flip side, Navy has seen a big drop the last few seasons from there usual level of success in that time frame
Air Force has won 8 or more games 9 times since 2000 including 10 win seasons in 2016 and 2014 and 9 win seasons in 2009 and 2007. They seem to have one of these kind of years every 3-4 years.

I’ve noticed a slight uptick in the number of threads reporting an unsubstantiated correlation and positing a causal relationship that satisfies their cognitive priors.

Air Force has had 4 10+ win seasons since 2014.
That's a major uptick.

roger staubach led navy to an undefeated season and cotton bowl.
therefore the word started is not enough.
you mean since you started paying attention.
also:
around 1960
air force academy tied that years national champ iowa. both undefeated seasons.
afa ranked 6th.
had a big bowl.
i noticed those.
heck, coast guard was pretty good for a while there.
i witnessed a football game of enlisted men similar to the one in M.A.S.H. i dont know why generals think its a good idea.

Army isn’t just in an “uptick”...they’re enjoying their most consistent success since their glory days of the 20s 30s 40s and 50s. This is their golden era of “modern” football.
Army records since 2016
2016 - (8-5)
2017 - (10-3)
2018 - (11-2)
2019 - (5-8)
2020 - (9-3)
2021 - (9-4)
That’s five 8 win seasons, which for Army football is remarkable. Army football is beyond an “uptick” and its great to witness as an Army Veteran.
