WASHINGTON (AP) — The Military Bowl will feature one of the military academies — just not the one they were planning on.

Officials announced Sunday that Air Force will play Toledo in the fourth edition of the bowl game at RFK Stadium in the nation’s capital on Dec. 28.

This year’s game was planned to match Navy vs. a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference, but Navy isn’t bowl-eligible and the ACC ran out of bowl-eligible teams before the Military Bowl could have its pick.

Air Force, from the Mountain West conference, is 7-5.

Toledo, from the Mid-American Conference, is 8-4.
