The No. 24 Tulane Green Wave made the American Athletic Conference (AAC) championship game for the second season in a row in 2023 but ultimately lost 26-14 to No. 19 SMU for the title.

The AAC title game marked the Green Wave's first loss since Week 2 against No. 11 Ole Miss. Tulane worked back into the top 25 with 10 straight wins from mid-September through November. Though the loss to SMU guaranteed they would not make a New Year's Six Bowl as they did in 2022, the Green Wave ensured a postseason spot with their Week 8 win against North Texas.

Virginia Tech had a rough start to 2023, going 1-3 through their non-conference schedule. But Virginia Tech bounced back and got to 0.500 thanks to wins against Pitt, Wake Forest, and Syracuse. Losses to No. 15 Louisville and No. 18 NC State put the Hokies at 5-6 ahead of the season finale against Virginia. The Hokies won 55-17 in Charlottesville and sealed a spot in the postseason.

This is the first time the two programs will meet in the postseason. This is Tulane's first Military Bowl and Virginia Tech's third.
