The Orange Bowl is an annual
American college football bowl game played at Sun Life
Stadium
in Miami Gardens, Florida. It has been played annually since
January 1, 1935 and celebrated its
75th playing on January 1, 2009. The Orange Bowl, along with the
Sugar Bowl and the Sun
Bowl, are the second-oldest bowl games in the country, behind the
Rose Bowl (first played 1902,
played annually since 1916). The Orange Bowl is a member of the
Bowl Championship Series.
The Orange Bowl hosted the BCS
National Championship Game in 2001 and 2005. However,
since the 2006 season, the BCS National Championship Game has been
a stand-alone event,
hosted by the local bowl organization one week following the New
Year's Day bowl games
(including the Orange Bowl). In other words, under the current BCS
format, the Orange Bowl
Committee hosted two games in 2009: the 2009 Orange Bowl on January
1 and the 2009 BCS
National Championship Game on January 8, both at LandShark
Stadium.

away by Miami safety Ken

also the last game for
