Army heads to Philadelphia having enjoyed an excellent start to the 2024 college football campaign. Jeff Monken’s team opened the year with a comprehensive 42-7 win over Lehigh before racking up consecutive conference wins over the Florida Atlantic Owls and Rice Owls. They’re one of just three teams in the country to already have two in-conference wins on their resume.

As a result, Army has the third-best chance of winning the AAC according to the College Football Network Football Playoff Meter (FPM). With a projected 8-4 record, the CFN FPM gives the Black Knights an 11.6% chance to win the conference and even a 7.7% chance of reaching the College Football Playoff. A win today would give the service academy their first 4-0 start since 2021.
Standing in their way is a Temple team who have endured a difficult start to the 2024 campaign. However, after defeats to Oklahoma, Navy, and Coastal Carolina, a 45-29 win over Utah State last time out gives Stan Drayton’s team some momentum as they look to extend a 7-6 winning record against Army that took a hit with successive defeats the last two times they met.
