The Orange Bowl is an annual college football game that is usually
played on January 1 in Miami, Florida. The game was played at Miami
Field (located where Miami Orange Bowl was later built) from 1935 to
1937, the Miami Orange Bowl from 1938 to 1996 and 1999, and was moved to
its current site, Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The
corporate title sponsor has been FedEx (formerly Federal Express) since
1989 and the official title of the game is the FedEx Orange Bowl.
From 1968, the game featured the champion of the former Big Eight
Conference (whose members formed the basis of the current Big 12
Conference). Since 1998, however, with the creation of the Bowl
Championship Series system, team selection for the Orange Bowl is now
tied into the other three BCS Bowls. As one of the Bowl Championship
Series (BCS) bowl games (the others being the Sugar, Fiesta, and Rose
Bowls), the Orange Bowl hosts the national championship game once every
four years under the BCS system.
