The Tennessee football Volunteers will face the WVU Mountaineers in Memphis.
It may seem embarrassing on the surface. Tennessee football will face the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn. on New Year’s Eve at 4 p.m. ET despite having a 3-7 record while WVU went 5-4 thanks to the NCAA waiving the bowl eligibility requirements.
However, it’s not far off from what would have happened if this were a normal season.
