Army: 2026 Week 12 recap

Army's late-season collapse continues. After a three-point home loss to Air Force in Week 10, the Black Knights have plummeted from a rating of 1 to −2.1, a stunning −3.1-point swing that dropped them to rank 79 nationally. At 5-4, they're now projected to win 7.06 games—well shy of postseason contention, with playoff odds at zero. The red-zone efficiency tells part of the story: a 14.5% touchdown rate in the scoring area reveals a team leaving points on the field when opportunities matter most. Army hosts East Carolina this Saturday in a dead-rubber matchup that offers little stakes beyond pride as the regular season winds down.
