The Liberty Bowl match up will be East Carolina from Conference USA and Kentucky from the SEC. Kentucky is expected to bring a good crowd and ECU should bring a decent amount of people. ECU coach Skip Holtz is expected to take the Syracuse job on Monday, so it will be interesting to see if he makes the trip. Vanderbilt will stay at home and play in the Music City Bowl.
The Memphis Tigers also announced that they will be headed to Florida for the first St. Petersburg Bowl. The Tigers will play Big East representative South Florida, formerly a member of Conference USA.
