The annual Army-Navy game will act as each school's defacto bowl game this year. Navy enters 4-7. Army enters 5-6. Navy lost its way out of bowl season the old-fashioned way. Army's waiver request to be sent to bowl season – asking that its two wins over FCS opponents both be counted towards eligibility (in addition to this game ostensibly being pre-counted as a win) – was denied by the NCAA.
