2020 Bowl Projections: Who will play Army in the Independence Bowl?

The only Service Academy football team that’s locked into a bowl game this season is Army, which accepted its tie-in invite to the Independence Bowl several weeks ago, the first FBS team to do so this season.

So, the question now is, who will Army play in the bowl?
