Is this really unexpected from Army and Navy?

I've been thinking about this for a few days now and I've come to the conclusion that the service academies may be on the cusp of a resurgence in their respective programs. With the state of college football now, with NIL and the transfer portal being a huge shift for both players and programs, Army, Navy, and the Air Force have something that no other program is likely to ever have again - development. Because of the service commitments of the players, these schools have about the highest probability of developing players over a 4-5 year period and truly having senior leadership on their programs. Compare that to every other school that is basically guaranteed maybe one year, and even then the player may opt out after 4 games to preserve a redshirt. I'm very interested to see what develops over the next 2-3 years as the first generation of NIL players exhaust their eligibility and all we are left with are players that have only known the transfer portal and NIL. I'm not saying we can expect Navy to take down Georgia in the near future, but seeing one of the service school find their way into the playoffs looks more promising now than it ever has.
