The '''Orange Bowl''' is an annual American [[college football]] [[bowl game]] that has been played annually in the [[Miami metropolitan area]] since [[1935 Orange Bowl|January 1, 1935]]. Along with the [[Sugar Bowl]] and the [[Sun Bowl]], it is one of the oldest bowl games in the country behind only the [[Rose Bowl Game|Rose Bowl]], which was first played in 1902 and has been played annually since 1916.

The Orange Bowl was originally held in the city of [[Miami]] at [[Miami Field (Florida)|Miami Field]] before moving to the [[Miami Orange Bowl]] stadium in 1938. In 1996, it moved to its current location at [[Hard Rock Stadium]] in [[Miami Gardens, Florida|Miami Gardens]], the home football field for both the [[Miami Hurricanes football|University of Miami]] and [[Miami Dolphins]]. Since December 2014, the game has been sponsored by [[Capital One]] and officially known as the '''Capital One Orange Bowl'''. Previous sponsors include [[Discover Financial]] (2011–January 2014) and [[FedEx|Federal Express/FedEx]] (1989–2010).
 
In its early years, the Orange Bowl had no defined conference tie-ins; it often pitted a team from the southeastern part of the country against a team from the central or northeastern states. From the 1950s until the mid-1990s, the Orange Bowl had a strong relationship with the [[Big Eight Conference]]. The champion (or runner-up in years in which the "no-repeat" rule was invoked) was invited to the bowl game in most years during this time; the [[1979 Orange Bowl]] even had two representatives from the Big Eight. Opponents of the Big Eight varied; but were often major independents, runners-up in the [[Southeastern Conference]] (SEC), or champions of the [[Atlantic Coast Conference]] (ACC). Since 2007, the Orange Bowl has hosted the ACC champion—unless they are involved in the national championship playoff, in which case another high-ranking ACC team takes their place<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/bowl-projections-playoff-all-set-michigan-vs-florida-state-a-big-orange-bowl/|title=Bowl projections, predictions: Playoff set, Michigan vs. Florida State a big-time game|date=4 December 2016 |access-date=31 December 2017}}</ref>—and has used the brand ''Home of the ACC Champion''.
 
In the 1990s, the Orange Bowl was a member of the [[Bowl Coalition]], but kept its Big Eight tie-in. It was later a member of the [[Bowl Alliance]]. From 1998 to 2013, the Orange Bowl was a member of the now-defunct [[Bowl Championship Series]] (BCS). The Orange Bowl served as the [[BCS National Championship Game]] in 2001 and 2005. However, beginning with the 2006 season, the BCS National Championship Game became a stand-alone event, hosted by the local bowl organization about one week following the New Year's Day bowl games (including the Orange Bowl). Under that format, the Orange Bowl Committee hosted two separate games in both 2009 (the [[2009 Orange Bowl]] on January 1 and the [[2009 BCS National Championship Game]] on January 8) and in 2013 (the [[2013 Orange Bowl]] on January 1 and the [[2013 BCS National Championship Game]] on January 7), all at the same venue. The BCS ended after the 2013 season, being replaced by the current [[College Football Playoff]] (CFP). The Orange Bowl has served as one of the [[New Year's Six]] bowl games in the CFP since the 2014 season. The Orange Bowl hosted a national semifinal following the 2015, 2018, and 2021 seasons, and will next host one following the 2024 season.
 
With the expansion of the College Football Playoff to 12 teams in 2024, the Orange Bowl will become an annual feature of that playoff, along with the other New Year's Six bowls. Traditional conference tie-ins prior to 2024 will still try to be respected for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, but are no longer obligated to be met.
 
==History==
Line 61 ⟶ 65:
On January 1, 1965, the Texas vs. Alabama Orange Bowl was the first college bowl game to be televised live in [[prime time]].<ref>{{cite web |title=1965 Orange Bowl, Texas vs. Alabama: College Football Goes Primetime |url=http://barkingcarnival.fantake.com/2008/09/13/1965-orange-bowl-texas-vs-alabama-college-football-goes-primetime/ |website=Barking Carnival |date=September 13, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130817202715/http://www.barkingcarnival.com/2008/09/13/1965-orange-bowl-texas-vs-alabama-college-football-goes-primetime/ |archive-date=August 17, 2013 |access-date=December 7, 2015 |via=[[Wayback Machine]]}}</ref>
 
From 1954 onwards, the game usually featured the champion of the former [[Big Eight Conference]]. When the Big Eight Conference absorbedmerged with four members of the defunct [[Southwest Conference]] in 1996, the newly formed [[Big 12 Conference]] moved its conference champion tie-in to the [[Fiesta Bowl]]. From 1998 to 2013, however, with the creation of the [[Bowl Championship Series]] system, team selection for the Orange Bowl was tied into the other three BCS Bowls and (from 2006 to 2013) the [[BCS National Championship Game]].
 
From 1998 to 2005, the game hosted the champion of either the [[Atlantic Coast Conference|ACC]] or [[Big East Conference (1979–2013)|Big East]] conferences, unless they were invited to the National Championship game, or if the Orange Bowl itself was hosting the national championship matchup.

From 1936 to 2001 (except for the World War II years), the Orange Bowl Committee also sponsored a parade. In its heyday, the parade was a nighttime New Year's Eve tradition, televised nationally with lighted floats and displays going down part of [[Biscayne Boulevard]] in downtown Miami to crowds as high as 500,000 people in the 1970s. However ratings dropped and the national television contract was lost in 1997, causing the parade to quickly become a shell of its former self since there were no sponsors for the elaborate floats. Attendance dwindled as well; by the turn of the millennium, the parade was lucky to draw 20,000 people. As a result, the committee chose to bring this tradition to an end in early 2002.<ref>[http://www.sportbusiness.com/news/145363/orange-bowl-parade-halts] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130325085356/http://www.sportbusiness.com/news/145363/orange-bowl-parade-halts|date=March 25, 2013}}</ref>
From 1936 to 2001 (except for the World War II years), the Orange Bowl Committee also sponsored a parade. The very first King Orange Jamboree Parade was held the day before the [[1936 Orange Bowl|1936 game]] with 30 floats at an expense of $40,000 {{USDCY|40000|1936}}.<ref name=westegg/><ref name=archive/> An Orange Bowl Queen and court of Princesses was selected from young women who were residents of Florida. A coronation ball was held the beginning of the month of December before the game, and the queen and princesses would ride on a float during the parade on New Years Day and preside over the half-time show at the game. Babs Beckwith was chosen as the first Orange Bowl queen.<ref name=archive/><ref name=babs/> Past Orange Bowl Queens include [[Victoria Principal]] and [[Jackie Nespral]].<ref name=community>[https://communitynewspapers.com/coral-gables-news/remember-when-the-orange-bowl-had-a-queen/]</ref>

==Game results==
Team rankings entering games for which the Orange Bowl was designated a CFP semifinal are taken from CFP rankings. Otherwise, rankings are taken from the [[AP Poll]] (inaugurated in [[1936 NCAA football rankings|1936]]), before each game was played.
Rankings are based on the [[AP Poll]] prior to the game being played.

The game was previously officially known as the '''Discover Orange Bowl''', since [[Discover Financial]] was announced as title sponsor on August 26, 2010, as part of a new four-year agreement.<ref>{{cite web|url=httphttps://sportswww.espn.go.com/ncfcollege-football/news/story?id=5499209|title=Discover to sponsor Orange Bowl title slot|date=2010-08-26|publisher=ESPN}}</ref> The game had been called the '''FedEx Orange Bowl''' from 1989 to 2010, as [[FedEx]] sponsored the event during that period.
