A senior defense official, who isn't going on record with his or her name, says Army will get to play Boston College and Air Force will play Navy after all...

Navy made it official on the Twitter machine:
#NavyFootball game on Saturday against Air Force is a GO. Kickoff 11:30 AM on CBS. No word on the rest of the sports this weekend.
