Army is currently in the No. 4 spot behind the Boise State Broncos, Tulane Green Wave and UNLV Rebels. With only a 19.3 percent chance to win the American Athletic Conference, and have a shot at clinching a playoff berth, the odds are stacked against them.

Army Football is having its most successful season in nearly a century. They're ranked in the top 25, and Saturday, they'll face No. 6 Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium. CBS News New York's Steve Overmyer went to West Point to see what makes Army a refreshing throwback team.

The Army Black Knights started the year on an unreal run that saw them string together nine consecutive victories before taking their first loss.

Army was dropped from the ranks of the unbeaten by Notre Dame, and falls out of the College Football Playoff rankings, too.
