As far as I'm aware, the Army/West Virginia game is still on.
I love the service academies both for what they represent to our country as well as the tradition and story lines they bring to the college football world. That said, I would not be looking forward to an Iowa/Army matchup. We've already got something of a dud matchup (Missouri), who I suspect we'll beat handily...against Army, I think that's a game where Iowa has in the backups at the start of the 4th Q. Maybe that's good as far as getting the backups and deserving 5th yr seniors game reps, but probably not so good from a fan perspective.
I do hope Army gets to play in their bowl. It's a weird year and I'm sure they played whatever schedule they were able to cobble together. I give them props for managing to find 11 games but, the fact is, the closest thing they've got to a quality win is beating a 3-3 Air Force team (which is at least a mid-pack Mountain West program). The two other decent FBS programs Army played this year (Cincinnati and Tulane) both beat them comfortably. Barring a covid catastrophe on the depth chart (in which case I think Iowa would be more likely to cancel than play), I have a hard time picturing Iowa not mopping the floor with them.
Sorry, I really don't meant to pick on Army. I meant what I said - I love the service academies, I like having them in the college FB mix, I hope they get their bowl. I'm just saying the 9-2 isn't so shiny when you look closer and I personally would prefer to play a tougher opponent.
