The Army Black Knights have been one of the biggest surprises in college football during the 2024 season. They are entering their Week 12 bye with an undefeated 9-0 record, as they have a little extra time to prep for a massive matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Yankee Stadium for a neutral site game next week.

Despite Army's undefeated record and ability to pass the so-called "eye test" week in and week out, the Black Knights have only been able to inch up to No. 24 in the College Football Playoff Rankings with less than a month left in the season.
