The Memphis Tigers (9-3) will take on the Iowa State Cyclones (7-5) in the Gator Bowl on Friday.The Missouri Tigers face the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Cotton Bowl also on Friday in one of the best bowl game matchups of the 2023 NCAA college football season.
Peyton Yager of Fox 4 News had to issue an apology this week regarding two of these teams.
Yager accidentally referred to Ohio State as Iowa State while on-air so she made it a point to release a video while showing herself walking off set.
“When you keep saying ‘Iowa State’ instead of ‘Ohio State’ on TV……. my bad Buckeyes,” Yager wrote. “I need the weekend.

The Liberty Bowl proved to be one of Bowl Season’s best last year when Arkansas outlasted Kansas 55-53 in a triple-overtime thriller. We can only hope to get the same thing this year.The Buckeyes are playing for a Cotton Bowl win against Missouri as well as their first 12-win season since 2019.
This would be a much-needed win for Ryan Day, who has lost three straight seasons to rival Michigan.Ohio State has been selected for a New Year’s Six bowl game for 10 straight seasons.
