Blake Horvath set a Navy record with a 95-yard touchdown run and scored a go-ahead 6-yarder with 4:34 left as the Midshipmen overcame an early two-touchdown deficit and stopped a late 2-point conversion attempt to beat Oklahoma 21-20 in the Armed Forces Bowl.

One of the biggest omissions, according to many fans and media pundits at ESPN, was the Alabama Crimson Tide. While Kalen DeBoer's team finished with a 9-3 record and had wins over Georgia, Missouri, and LSU, their losses to Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Oklahoma stuck out like a sore thumb.
