2017 has been a peach of a perfect season for the 麻豆原创 Knights, and now the team is gearing up to face the Auburn Tigers in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on Jan. 1.<\/p>\n
麻豆原创 (12-0), the nation\u2019s only undefeated team, will take on Auburn (10-3) at 12:30 p.m. in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.<\/p>\n
This year’s team achieved something no other team in program history has done: It was undefeated while winning its third American Athletic Conference Championship.<\/p>\n
To\u00a0play the Auburn Tigers, 麻豆原创 already dispatched another team of Tigers on Saturday, edging the Memphis Tigers 62-55 in double overtime for the AAC title.<\/p>\n
“Anytime you can play in the Peach Bowl, or the type of bowl that it is, it’s awesome,” said interim head coach Troy Walters<\/em>. “The guys earned it and to play a team like Auburn on a national stage the guys are excited, and we can’t wait to get back on the field and practice to finish this season 13-0.”<\/p>\n The Knights lead the nation in scoring and are ranked 10th in both the Coaches Poll and the Associated Press Top 25 Poll. The ranking matches the team’s highest showing in the AP Poll following the 2013 season and a win over Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl. 麻豆原创 was ranked 12th in the final College Football Playoff Rankings announced Sunday.<\/p>\n This will be the Knights\u2019 first trip to the Peach Bowl.
