BYU was destined for the game since before the season, assuming they became bowl-eligible. The Army Black Knights have the rights to the game next year, assuming they're bowl-eligible as well.
The Poinsettia Bowl is a relatively young postseason game, with just seven previous matchups. BYU has never appeared in the game and the Aztecs have appeared just once in their home town bowl; a 35-14 win over the Navy Midshipmen in the 2010 edition.
TV schedule: Dec. 20, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN
Locale: Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, Calif. Capacity: 66,000
My thoughts on the title sponsor’s services: Credit unions are pretty neat, right?
Last year's score: TCU Horned Frogs 31, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 24
