This bowl game is sponsored by Capital One and part of the College Football Playoff. It has been played annually since January 1, 1935. The Orange Bowl, along with the Sugar Bowl and the Sun Bowl, is the second - oldest bowl game in the country, behind the Rose Bowl ( first played 1902, played annually since 1916 ). 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 8 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 8. Opponents of the Big 8 varied ; but were often major independents, runners - up in the Southeastern Conference, or champions of the Atlantic Coast Conference. In the 1990s, the Orange Bowl was a member of the Bowl Coalition, but kept its Big 8 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 Sun Life Stadium. The BCS ended after the 2013 season, being replaced by the current College Football Playoff. Since 2007, the Orange Bowl has been host to the Atlantic Coast Conference champion unless they are involved in the national championship game ( in which case the highest ranking ACC team remaining or the # 2 ACC team would take their place ) and has used the brand Home of the ACC Champion. The 2013 match - up ended with the Florida State Seminoles, who won the ACC championship, defeating the MAC champion Northern Illinois Huskies. This was the first time a non-AQ team that had suffered a loss previously in the season made it to the Orange Bowl.

As one of the organizers said : `` In New York, people are buried in snow. Here, our flowers are blooming and our oranges are about to bear. Let 's hold a festival to tell the world about our paradise. '' In 1902, the annual festival was enhanced by adding an American football game. In 1926, leaders in Miami, Florida, decided to do the same with a `` Fiesta of the American Tropics '' that was centered around a New Year 's Day football game. Although a second `` Fiesta '' was never held, Miami leaders - Earnest E Seiler, later revived the idea with the `` Palm Festival '' ( with the slogan `` Have a Green Christmas in Miami '' ). Palm Festival game In 1932, George E. Hussey, official greeter of Miami, organized the first Festival of Palms Bowl, a predecessor of the Orange Bowl. With Miami suffering from both the Great Depression and the preceding Florida land bust, Hussey and other Miamians sought to help its economy by organizing a game similar to Pasadena 's Rose Bowl. Two games were played in this series at Moore Park in Miami, both pitting an invited opponent against a local team, the University of Miami. In the first game, played on January 2, 1933, Miami defeated Manhattan College 7 -- 0. In the second game, played on New Year 's Day 1934, Duquesne defeated Miami 33 -- 7. Duquesne was coached by Elmer Layden one of the Four Horseman of Notre Dame. These games are not recognized as bowl games by the NCAA because one team was guaranteed a berth regardless of record. However, following the success of these games, backers organized another game for New Year 's Day 1935 under the Orange Bowl name. This game, unlike the Palm Festival Games, did not automatically grant a berth to one team, although the University of Miami was again a participant. For this reason, the 1935 Orange Bowl was later recognized by the NCAA as an official bowl game. Modern game The Orange Bowl 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, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, in December 1996. The game was moved back to the namesake stadium in 1999 ( which would be the final bowl game ever in the Miami Orange Bowl ) because the game was played on the same day the Miami Dolphins hosted an NFL Wild Card Playoff game. Coincidentally, both of those games were aired on ABC. In 1964, the Texas vs. Alabama Orange Bowl was the first college bowl game to be televised in prime time. Orange Bowl trophy John F. Kennedy at the Orange Bowl, 1963 From 1968, the game usually featured the champion of the former Big Eight Conference. When the Big Eight Conference absorbed 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. 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. From 1998 to 2005, the game hosted the champion of either the ACC or Big East conferences, unless they were invited to the National Championship game, or if the Orange Bowl itself was hosting the national championship matchup. Starting with the 2006 season, the Orange Bowl has been exclusively tied with the ACC and has used the brand Home of the ACC Champion. As one of the Bowl Championship Series ( BCS ) bowl games, the site of the Orange Bowl also hosted the national championship game one week after the Orange Bowl game ; it did so on a four - year rotating basis with the other three BCS games ( the others being the Sugar, Fiesta, and Rose Bowls ). King Orange Jamboree parade From 1936 to 2001, 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, FL. 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. As a result, the committee chose to bring this tradition to an end in early 2002. The very first King Orange Jamboree Parade was held the day before the 1936 game with 30 floats at an expense of $40,000 ( $653,933 in 2012 dollars ). Babs Beckwith was chosen as the first Orange Bowl queen. Future games The Atlantic Coast Conference ( ACC ) is locked into a 12 - year deal with the Orange Bowl, so if the ACC champion qualifies for the playoffs in a year when the Orange Bowl is not a semifinal host, the next - highest ranked ACC team will play in the Orange Bowl. For the secondary tie - ins : The Southeastern Conference ( SEC ) and the Big Ten Conference are guaranteed three appearances each, and the University of Notre Dame can play in a maximum of two games, but is not guaranteed any appearances. The ACC team 's opponent in a given year will be the highest - ranked available team from the SEC, Big Ten ( this always excludes the SEC and Big Ten champions. If an SEC or Big Ten team -- or teams -- qualify for the College Football Playoff, the next available team would also be excluded from participating in the Orange Bowl due to contractual obligations with the Sugar and Rose Bowls, respectively ), and Notre Dame, subject to these constraints. Also, should this highest - ranked team create a rematch with the ACC team, the Orange Bowl has the option of passing over that team for the next - highest ranked team among the Big Ten, SEC, and Notre Dame, again subject to the above contractual constraints. The College Football Playoff committee 's rankings will be used to select the ACC 's opponent. The other four will be College Football Playoff berths. ESPN holds the television rights for 12 years as well. Game results Rankings are based on the AP Poll prior to the game being played.

Sponsorship 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. The game had been called the FedEx Orange Bowl from 1989 to 2010, as FedEx sponsored the event during that period. Starting with the 2010 -- 11 season, ESPN carried the Orange Bowl, replacing Fox after four seasons. ABC aired the game from 1999 to 2006, with CBS ( 1995 -- 1998 ) and NBC ( 1964 -- 1994 ) previously carrying the game. Discover stated that they would not renew their sponsorship of the game further on June 9, 2014 ; the game will be a part of the College Football Playoff in the future, and CFP rightsholder ESPN has asked for higher sponsorship fees, in return. On September 22, 2014, Capital One was announced as the new title sponsor of the Orange Bowl, transferring their bowl game sponsorship from the Citrus Bowl. Subsequently, the company 's `` Capital One Mascot Challenge '' winner naming ceremony also moved to the Orange Bowl. Broadcasting See also : Orange Bowl broadcasters ESPN is the current rightsholder of the Orange Bowl, a relationship that began in 2011 as part of the contract to broadcast the Bowl Championship Series games. In anticipation of the transition to the College Football Playoff in the 2014 -- 15 season, ESPN reached a new deal with the game 's organizers in November 2012 to extend its rights through 2026, paying $55 million yearly. The game is also broadcast nationally by ESPN Radio. Prior to that, Fox held the rights to the event ( along with the other BCS bowls ) since 2007, preceded by ABC ( 1999 -- 2006 and 1962 -- 64 ), CBS ( 1996 -- 98 and 1953 -- 61 ), and NBC ( 1965 -- 95 ). This game, along with the Fiesta Bowl, is one of only two bowl games ever to air on all the `` big 4 '' U.S. television networks. ESPN Deportes added a Spanish language telecast of the game in 2013.
