Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5221454, member: 173"] There is a huge, huge problem for Army as far as getting into the playoff. The 12 teams are selected on December 8th. The Army-Navy game is on 12/14 - the result is the committee cannot know if Army will remain undefeated, and likely cannot pick an Army team that wouldn’t make it in even with a loss to Navy. With the schedule Army has, a one loss team -even with a win over Notre Dame - would almost certainly NOT be in. I think the odds of Army making it this year are very low as a result. This was a known issue by the academies when they opted to push that game out another week after conference championship game weekend. It’s hard to complain it’s unfair when the academies knew how that decision could impact their playoff chances - they just have to live with the consequences of that decision. [/QUOTE]
