Interesting Games this Weekend

While the Army Team enjoys a bye this weekend, there are some interesting games that will give some insight to this Army team might accomplish.

Notre Dame at Navy. This game is most obviously of interest as Army has both teams on their schedule. It will be interesting to see how ND handles Navy’s version of the TO and to see just how good Navy is.

Boise State at UNLV. Boise State is usually the team people have penciled in as the Group of 5 representative in the CFB playoffs. They will have to falter at some point if Army is to have any chance of making the playoffs and UNLV is the toughest game remaining on their schedule. BSU has one loss to Oregon (currently #1 in the AP and Coaches Polls) by 3 points.

Tulsa at North Texas. UNT is 5-2 (2-1 in the AAC) is probably the toughest ACC game remaining on Army’s schedule. While Tulsa isn’t particularly strong, I will be interested in seeing UNT play.

With an off week and then a non-conference game, most other team in the American will catch up to Army a little in terms of conference games played the next 2 weeks. Right now it's tough to get a handle on the big picture because Army's played 6 conference games already, and most other teams are around 3. Tulane-Navy in on 11/16 could be a huge game for positioning as well.
8-0 will obviously get them into the conference title game, but at this point it's too early to say if 7-1 would do the trick.
