What's at stake for the College Football Playoff in the AAC championship game
No. 24 Army will face off against Tulane on Friday night in the AAC championship at West Point’s Michie Stadium.
The Black Knights have had a tremendous season, as have the Green Wave. However, neither of these teams will have much of an impact for the College Football Playoff’s final bracket.
College Football Playoff: The new 12-team format, rankings and seeding, explained
With how the latest CFP rankings went, Army has very little chance of making the final 12-team field after coming in at 24. A loss to Tulane would make that even more unlikely than it already was.
The stakes will be an ACC title, which is nothing to be ashamed of for either team. Both of these programs will go bowling, and Army winning on Saturday should ensure it lands a good postseason contest.
