MIAMI GARDENS — There isn’t much of a history between Florida and Virginia. Bartow holds off Blue Streaks The schools met in the College World Series in 2015, the Cavaliers ousting the Gators on the way to the national cham- pionship. They’ve played in the NCAA basketball tournament twice in recent years, the Gators winning in 26-point routs both times. But the lone football matchup between the schools was 60 years ago. That’s about to change. Florida (10-2, No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings) will face Atlantic Coast Conference runner-up Virginia (9-4) in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30, with both teams still chasing something. For the Gators, it’s a chance at their first 11-win season since 2012. For the Cavaliers, it’s the second 10-win season in school history. It’s the first Orange Bowl bid in Virginia history and the first New Year’s Six — the tag given to the Orange, Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Peach and Fiesta bowls — ap- pearance for the Cavaliers since going to the Peach in 1998. “Each year the bowl game quality and tier seems to be escalating, the stage that it’s on seems to be escalating,” Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall said. “So my job is to advance our program and have it match those stages at a really high level.” It’s an uncommon matchup: The only time the schools have played in football was 1959, a 55-10 win for the Gators at Florida Field. But there are two common opponents in 2019 — Miami and Florida State. The RUTH ANNE LAWSON/STAFF Gators beat Miami 24-20 and Florida State 40-17; the Cavaliers lost to the Sebring’s Michael Sholtz (3) pushes his way around Bartow’s Alex Vigo (12) during Friday night’s game.
