Army, while ranked (#24), isn’t included in the CFP. It’s another snub like Florida State last year or Boise State in 2009. Army has one loss to Notre Dame.

Strength of schedule? That argument doesn’t hold when Indiana, 11-1, is placed at number 9 with three teams above it that have 2 losses on their records. And currently, Alabama is getting in with 3 losses. Army deserves a shot even if they would fail badly. Then again, they might surprise us and upset somebody . . . afterall, these are the men who are willing to fight for this Country. They are some of our best and brightest.

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”But he replied, “Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.” Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.” . . . . Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. And when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, “This man was with him.” But he denied it. “Woman, I don’t know him,” he said. A little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” “Man, I am not!” Peter replied. About an hour later another asserted, “Certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.” Peter replied, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed. The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.~Luke 22:31-34, 54-62
