^^ I already accounted for tonight's games. So a win over Miami would end in 11-5.

Well I'm glad this administration is focused on the things that really matter. What a top priority. I feel my patriotism swelling. This is why executive orders were invented.

Why not move this game to week 0 and have everyone else start week 1? That way they can get their own weekend but it doesn’t interfere with a the postseason schedule.

I have a coworker that served in the Army for years, and while he’s a big Duck fan, Army will always be his first team. It actually means quite a bit to him and others who have served in the Army or Navy to have their own week. I mentioned the idea of moving it to week 0 and he was all for that idea. He said he doesn’t care when it happens, he just wants Army vs Navy to have their own week.

Four year Navy man here and I believe this game should be treated the same as any other.

Back up everyone to week 0, then have a bye for 16 teams over Thanksgiving weekend. Army-Navy the day after Thanksgiving by itself. Following week starts the 16 teams playoff with the championship on New Years Day. Level playing field this way without long layoffs. Higher seed hosts 1st two rounds, neutral field for semis and final, or just the final. Either way.
