The University of Kentucky football team is headed to the Music City Bowl for the third time in four seasons.
The Tennessean newspaper of Nashville, Tenn., citing an unnamed source, reported on its website Tuesday night that the Music City Bowl will extend an invitation to UK this week.
The official announcement of UK's bowl destination is not expected until Sunday.
UK athletics officials could not confirm the Music City Bowl bid on Tuesday, nor could Scott Ramsey, the president and CEO of the Music City Bowl, who said that Southeastern Conference-affiliated bowls had been instructed not to make their team selections public on Tuesday.
But Ramsey confirmed that the Wildcats are "very high" on the Music City Bowl's wish list, adding that he was "very optimistic" that the bowl would be able to extend an invitation to UK.
The Music City Bowl, which pits an SEC team against an ACC opponent, will kick off at 8:30 p.m. ET on Dec. 27.
