Army and Navy football programs each were ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time sine 1960 on Sunday. Both teams are undefeated.
The Army and Navy college football teams are on a collision course that may have serious repercussions for the expanded College Football Playoff later this season. After seven weeks of play, the Black Knights and the Midshipmen are both undefeated and have done something not seen since 1960 – appear in the AP Top 25 rankings together.
Army topped UAB 44-10 on Saturday, improving to 6-0 on the season. Army was 6-6 in each of the last two seasons and were 2-4 at this time last season under Jeff Monken. Now, Army is 6-0 for just the third time in its program’s history and has the nation’s largest winning streak. Army is in the Top 25 for the first time since 2020 and have East Carolina on the docket this weekend. Navy had a bye week after beating Air Force last weekend 34-7.
Army and Navy are both in contention for that bid. The two teams will meet on Dec. 14 for their annual rivalry matchup. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
