In a historic encounter, the Army Black Knights secured their first conference title in 134 years of football by defeating the Tulane Green Wave 35-14 in the AAC Championship Game. Despite this achievement, Army has been left out of the College Football Playoff discussions, prompting AAC Commissioner to argue that the team has earned a spot based on their perfect title game performance. Coach Jeff Monken emphasized that the ultimate goal remains to defeat Navy, despite the bittersweet playoff exclusion. The victory saw standout performances from Army QB Bryson Daily, who scored four touchdowns, leading his team to victory while Tulane struggled throughout the match.
