USA TODAY Sports predicts matchup against Big Ten team with interim coach in latest bowl projections

The Tigers are projected to face Wisconsin in the Music City Bowl.

LSU had a rough game against the Tennessee Volunteers last week as the Vols strolled into Baton Rouge and beat the Tigers 40-13. Before the game, LSU had cracked the AP Top 25 for the first time this season, but after the big loss, LSU dropped out.

According to the latest USA TODAY Sports bowl projections, LSU is projected to play Wisconsin in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 31 in Nashville.

The Badgers are in a weird spot this year. They are 3-3 this season, and they fired their head coach, Paul Chryst, last week. Jim Leonhard took over after Chryst was let go and he led the Badgers to a 42-7 win over Northwestern in his first game as a head coach.
