Penn State's bowl is set.

The Nittany Lions didn't get into a New Year's Six bowl, but they will still be playing on New Year's Day.

Penn State will face off with Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando with kickoff set for 1 p.m at Camping World Stadium.

The Wildcats finished at No. 14 in the College Football Playoff rankings, which is the fifth-highest in the SEC.

Kentucky also heads into the bowl game with a 9-3 record, the same as Penn State.

This will be the fifth bowl game Penn State will have played in Orlando, but the first under the new official name of the VRBO Citrus Bowl.

Penn State's most recent trip to Orlando was in 2010 when the Nittany Lions defeated LSU by a final of 19-17 in the Capitol One Bowl.
