SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The No. 20 Syracuse Orange football team (9-3) has been selected for the Camping World Bowl in Orlando, Florida, where it will face former Big East rival, No. 16 West Virginia (8-3) on the evening of Dec. 28.

A breakout 2018 season for Syracuse football under third-year head coach Dino Babers earned the Orange the ACC’s top bowl slot outside the College Football Playoff and New Year’s Six Bowl slots.

The bowl game kicks off at 5:15 p.m. at Camping World Stadium and will be televised nationally on ESPN.

This will be the 61st all-time meeting between Syracuse and West Virginia. The Orange hold a 33-27 lead in the series. The teams last met in the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl in the Bronx, a game the Orange won, 38-14.

This meeting could be a high-scoring shootout, with both teams scoring an average of 40 points per game this season.
