After their final home game, a 22–0 shutout of Utah on Veterans Day,[5][6] the Cadets were 7–1 and prime candidates for the academy's first-ever bowl invitation. In the midst of the Vietnam War, Pentagon officials decided against it, citing the "heavy demands on the players' time" as well as an emphasis on football being "not consistent with the academy's basic mission: to produce career Army officers."[7][8]

No Army players received first-team honors on the All-America team.
