Citrus Bowl
The Citrus Bowl is a current Division I FBS bowl game which has been held, with a single exception, at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida since the end of the 1946 season. The bowl began as a minor bowl known as the Tangerine Bowl, until the mid-seventies when the bowl committee made efforts to invite more high-profile teams. In 1983 the bowl (under sponsorship of the Florida Citrus Growers Association) became known as the Florida Citrus Bowl, and following sponsorship terms with CompUSA (1994-1999) and Ourhouse.com (2000), and Capital One (2001-2013), finally took its current name.
The bowl invited the Mid-American Conference champion from 1968-1975 and the Southern Conference champion from 1968-1971. In 1987 (following the 1986 season) the game returned to its original New Year's Day slot. From 1987-1991 the Atlantic Coast Conference champion hosted the game; since then, the bowl has featured a team from the Big Ten Conference against a team from the Southeastern Conference (usually the highest-ranked non-BCS team from each conference).
The highest-profile game in the bowl's history was in 1991, when United Press International voted Georgia Tech its national champion after their victory over Nebraska.
