'Army-Navy audience surprisingly down'

"Saturday’s Army-Navy Game averaged 7.84 million viewers on CBS, down 17% from last year’s audience of 9.42 million...The decline comes amidst some uncertainty regarding the future scheduling of the Army-Navy Game, which since 2009 has aired mostly unopposed on the weekend after the college football conference championship games. But in the event that the College Football Playoff expands past its current 12-team field after this season — as is expected — it is likely that first round games would take place on that weekend."
