No. 24 Army closes its first American Athletic Conference season with a shot at winning the title in hosting Tulane in the championship game on Friday. The Black Knights went 8-0 against AAC opponents, and are 10-1 overall with their only loss coming to now-fourth-ranked Notre Dame two weeks ago. The Green Wave are making their third straight AAC championship game appearance after beating UCF in 2022 and losing to SMU last year. The Green Wave had won a conference record-tying 17 straight AAC regular season games before a 34-24 loss to Memphis last week.
