Army’s win over Syracuse looks better and better as the season progresses. Syracuse handled #4 Duke last night pretty easily. They will move into the top 5 after that win I would think.

Amazing thing is that Army has risen to the top of the rankings with no transfers and no graduate students. Every other top program has lots of both.

Just lots of 5th year "hardship" guys.

I was playing football for Maryland in 69 , Army was and always will be my favorite team , I went to see Maryland play Army and hung out with the Army team and cheered like hell for Army who won by 8/10 goals one of the Army players gave me his triple A sweatshirt and I still wear it today

Is this true?

Not a huge fan of the fact that we have football players that we are "strategically" allowing to spend five seasons playing prior to a December graduation. It would seem much more difficult with a spring sport where the cadets would wind up spending 5 full years at WP vs 4.5. Plus there are only 13 of 75 or so Seniors on the roster, so it doesn't seem overwhelming.

Did a quick check yesterday and, yes, like 6 or 7 5th year seniors. With covid in 2020 they are taking that extra year

Wierd to me they do an entire year, ie, not december grad. I wonder how they do things like leadership positions and also are they getting a double major or something?
