Liberty, which fell out of the running for the Conference USA championship with its loss last week to Sam Houston, will face Buffalo in the Bahamas Bowl.
Not a bad consolation.
The Jan. 4 game will be televised on ESPN2 from Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas. Kickoff for the game is set for 11 a.m. ET.
Liberty (8-3, 5-3 CUSA) entered the 2024 season with longshot CFP aspirations, which ended with an inexplicable mid-October loss to then-winless Kennesaw State, which finished with a 2-10 record.
Buffalo (8-4, 6-2 MAC) finished third in the MAC in 2024.
