West Virginia (7-5) vs. Syracuse (7-5)
Where: Yankee Stadium, New York
Time, TV: 2:15 p.m., ESPN
Line: West Virginia by 3 1/2
The skinny: In their first year in the Big 12, the Mountaineers won their first five games, lost their next five, won two more and now find themselves in a bowl game against a team from their old conference, the Big East, although the Orange is off to the ACC next year.
FIGHT HUNGER BOWL

Where: AT&T Park, San Francisco
When, TV: 3 p.m., ESPN2

Where: Alamodome, San Antonio
When, TV: 5:45 p.m., ESPN
Line: Oregon State by 3
The skinny: The Longhorns are trying to win their 10th bowl game in 14 appearances under Mack Brown, but they are now playing amid reports that two players are under investigation for an alleged sexual assault.

TCU (7-5) vs. Michigan State (6-6)
