Air Force tied for fourth place in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) while Ole Miss finished in second place in the West Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). This was Air Force's fourth consecutive Liberty Bowl (due to the policy of the winner of Commander in Chief's Trophy having a bid into the game), and Ole Miss' first bowl game since 1991. This was the third time the two teams faced each other in a 10-year span.
