Well, there's only on game this week, but it's a big one. Not because it has bowl implications, or two teams playing for a conference championship. In fact, the combined record of the two teams is 7-15. The reason this game is such a big one is all about pride. It's the annual Army (3-8) vs. Navy (4-7) game. Neither team is bowl eligible, so for these two prestigious academies, this game is their National Championship. It seems that everyone in the country is on one side or the other for this game; perhaps most often because of a close relative serving in one branch or the other. While the competition may last for 60 minutes, at the end of the day, the men and women from West Point and Annapolis are on the same team. It's impossible to watch this game and not feel a tremendous amount of pride in being an American.
Army vs. Navy > Navy
