The 2025 Navy football team was honored at the White House with President Donald Trump hosting a ceremony where they defeated Air Force 34-31 and Army 17-16 to win the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy. The award is given to the winner of the football competition among the three major service academies. President Trump has ordered the College Football Playoff (CFP) and other postseason games to avoid conflicts with the Army-Navy game in December. The order also mentions potential expansion of the CFP, which could lead to an earlier start for the playoff. If the playoff were expanded to 24 teams, at least one more week of games would be required.
