Orange Bowl
The Orange Bowl is an annual college football game that is usually played on January 1 in the Miami, Florida metro area, in the United States. The game was played at the Miami Orange Bowl from 1935 to 1995 and 1999, and was moved to Dolphin Stadium (formerly known as Pro Player Stadium) located in Miami Gardens in 1996. 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 usually 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.

From 1998-2005, the game hosted the champion of either the ACC or Big East conferences, unless they were invited to the National Championship game. Starting with the 2006 season, the Orange Bowl will be exclusively tied with the ACC and will use the brand Home of the ACC Champion. As one of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) bowl games (the others being the Sugar, Fiesta, and Rose Bowls), the Orange Bowl had hosted the national championship game once every four years under the BCS system (as it did on January 4, 2005).
The 2007 Orange Bowl aired on Fox. ABC aired the game the previous eight years, with CBS (1995-1998) and NBC (1964-1994) previously carrying the game. This year's Orange pitted ACC Champion Wake Forest against Big East Champion Louisville, with Louisville defeating Wake Forest 24-13.
