Miami (OH) will play North Texas in the makeshift “Frisco Football Classic”

One team was bound to be disappointed when the 2021 bowl games were revealed. This season, 83 teams qualified for bowl eligibility. However, only 82 spots were available.

In a shocking announcement, a makeshift bowl game was introduced to the college football postseason landscape to satisfy all bowl eligible teams. Earlier in the week, an unnamed bowl game was speculated to transpire somewhere in the state of Texas.

The Action Network’s Brett McMurphy clarified the destination, the matchup, and the working name of the newest bowl game Sunday afternoon. Dubbed the “Frisco Football Classic,” the Miami RedHawks and North Texas Mean Green will clash in Frisco, TX in a battle between 6-6 opponents.
