Army’s football players relied on virtual group phone calls to remain connected upon West Point closing nine months ago at the start of COVID-19 pandemic.

As we approach the final weekend of the college football season, we have 11 teams still in the College Football Playoff race. Of those 11, one–Alabama–has likely locked up a Playoff berth already.

Georgia Tech has one more game left on their schedule. It’s the top 10 ranked Miami Hurricanes. For the sake of argument, we’ll say Georgia Tech probably isn’t going to win that game.
