Unfair Rankings: Army’s Historic Season Overshadowed
The college football world is abuzz with Army’s remarkable 8-0 record, yet somehow, the Black Knights find themselves ranked a dismal 25th in the latest College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings. It begs the question: does the CFP committee have a hidden agenda against our nation’s finest?
A Season for the Ages
Army’s dominance on the field is undeniable. With a stifling defense and a backup quarterback who stepped up in a big way, the team has been steamrolling opponents left and right. Even without their star Heisman-candidate quarterback, Army’s winning streak continues, silencing critics who claim their schedule is too soft.
Respect Earned, Not Given
While some may argue that Army’s schedule is lacking, the fact remains that they’ve convincingly beaten every team put in front of them. It’s hard to swallow seeing teams with two or three losses ranked ahead of them. The solution is simple: win the American Athletic Conference (AAC) championship and force the committee’s hand.
Leading by Example
In a heartwarming display of camaraderie, defensive lineman Kanye Udoh took a moment to acknowledge his teammate’s impressive performance last week. This kind of leadership and sportsmanship is exactly what Army’s soldiers embody. It’s a testament to the character of these young men, and we can’t help but feel proud.
The Road Ahead
This week, Army faces a crucial test against North Texas. One game at a time, they’ll continue to prove their mettle and make their case for a higher ranking. Will the CFP committee finally take notice? Only time will tell.
