In a battle between rival conferences, the SEC's own Texas A&M clashes with ACC representative Louisville within the neutral confines of Nashville, Tennessee, at the Music City Bowl. The postseason duel will play host to squads that finished their respective seasons in opposite fashion, as the Aggies struggled to a 3-4 conclusion, while the Cardinals secured five of their last six.
Entering the bowl game, though, a flurry of groundbreaking action shook Texas A&M's program, as both starting quarterback Kyle Allen and backup Kyler Murray elected to transfer. With the dust settled, third-string sophomore Jake Hubenak emerged as the man under center for the Aggies and hopes to lead A&M to its fifth straight bowl victory.
