Black Knights Holding Firm at No. 13

The Black Knights aren't budging — and that's not a knock. Army sits at No. 13 for the second straight ranking, a testament to the consistency this group has built over a 15-win season. Five losses is the price of a competitive schedule, but 15 wins is the receipt of a team that handled its business week after week. Holding rank isn't sexy, but it's earned. It means voters looked at the full body of work and found no reason to move them. For a program with this kind of record, stability is its own statement. The Black Knights aren't chasing validation — they're building a standard, and right now, that standard reads 15-5 and top-15 in America. That's rock-solid ground.
