About Orange Bowl in brief
The Orange Bowl is an annual college football bowl game played in the Miami metropolitan area. It has been played annually since January 1, 1935, making it, along with the Sugar Bowl and the Sun Bowl, the second-oldest bowl game in the country, behind the Rose Bowl. The Orange Bowl was originally held in the city of Miami at Miami Field before moving to the Miami Orange Bowl stadium in 1938. In 1996, it moved to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Since December 2014, the game has been sponsored by Capital One and officially known as the Capital One Orange Bowl. In its early years, the Orange Bowl had no defined conference tie-ins; it often pitted ateam from the southeastern part of the country against a team from the central or northeastern states. The game is one of the New Year’s Six, the top bowl games for the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. It was a member of the now-defunct Bowl Championship Series from 1998 to 2013. It served as the BCS National Championship Game in 2001 and 2005. It is now one of six bowls in the College Football Playoff since the 2014 season. In the years that it is not a national semifinal, theOrange Bowl is hosted by the ACC champion if that team is not one of four top seeds for the CFP.
TheOrange Bowl hosted a national semifinals following the 2015 and 2018 seasons. In 1902, the annual festival was enhanced by adding an American football game. In 1933, Miami defeated Manhattan College 7–0 in the first game played on January 2, 1933. In 1934, Miami beat Notre Dame 33–7 in the second game. These games are not recognized by the NCAA because one team was guaranteed a berth regardless of record. For this reason, the 1935 game was later recognized as an official bowl game. This game, unlike the Palm Games, did not automatically grant one team a berth to one team, although the University of Miami was again a participant, although it did not have a record of winning the game. The first game was played on New Year’s Day 1934, with Miami winning 33-7. The second game, played on December 31, 1934, was also played at Miami, and Miami defeated Notre Dame 2-1. The third game, on January 31, 1936, was played in Miami and won by Miami 33-0. The fourth and final game of the 1935 season was held on January 30, 1937, and was won by Notre Dame 7-3.
