College Football Playoff Rankings 2018: Top 25 projections for Week 11

Army is going to get some love from the College Football Playoff selection committee this week after the Black Knights improved to 7-2 in a close win against Air Force. The win set up the Black Knights for a shot at the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy and pushed the team to bowl eligibility for the third straight year.

Though they were outgained on offense, Army had a 15-minute advantage in time of possession. Bleeding the clock, the Black Knights took the air out of the ball game against Air Force with a ground game that racked up 242 yards on the ground as a team.

This is probably as high as Army is going to climb over the next few weeks. The Black Knights face a pair of FCS schools the next two weeks, as Lafayette and Colgate come to West Point. They close out the regular season, as usual, with the traditional Army-Navy Game in Philadelphia during Heisman weekend in December.
