2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Navy at #164 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of +0.1 points per 100 possessions. The model projects a step back from last season's #149 finish. The model expects a rebuilding-type season.
With 99% of last season's minutes returning, this is one of the more continuous rosters in the country, and that tends to be a real edge in November and December.
Last Season (2025-26)
Navy finished 2025-26 at 24-7, ranked #149 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 106.7 and adjusted defense of 105.0 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Navy
Navy's power rating of +0.1 is an adjusted efficiency margin: the points per 100 possessions the model expects them to outscore an average Division I team by, once you strip out schedule strength. It combines adjusted offensive efficiency, adjusted defensive efficiency, and pace into one number, so a rating of +0.1 means Navy projects to beat a neutral-court average team by about 0 points on a typical night.
