Army football is 11–1 after an impressive performance in the American Athletic Conference championship game against Tulane on Friday, a 35–14 beatdown of one of the best Group of 5 teams in the country.
The Black Knights have been in the College Football Playoff discussions as a potential automatic bid recipient throughout the season. The five highest-ranked conference champions receive bids to the Playoff, making room for at least one Group of Five program. Following Boise State's win in the Mountain West championship, Army is on the outside looking in for that spot, but AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti absolutely believes the team is deserving of a chance to compete for a national championship.
