It will feature the Iowa State Cyclones from the Big 12 Conference against the Conference USA champion Tulsa Golden Hurricane and will be the final game of the 2012 NCAA Division I FBS football season for both teams.

Teams
Tulsa
The Golden Hurricane continued their winning history in Conference USA, winning the West Division championship with a 7–1 conference record. After defeating the UCF Knights by a score of 33–27 in overtime to win their second Conference USA title (and their first since winning the 2005 game over the same Knights), the conference's corresponding contingency plan for the 2012–13 NCAA Bowl season put the Golden Hurricane in the 2012 Liberty Bowl.[1]
This will be the Golden Hurricane's second Liberty Bowl, previously having won the 2005 game by defeating the Fresno State Bulldogs by a score of 31–24.
