From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Capital One Bowl is an annual college football game played in Orlando, Florida at the Citrus Bowl, and previously known as the Tangerine Bowl (1947-1982) and the Florida Citrus Bowl (1983-2002). As of 2005 it is sponsored by Capital One.

The game is one of the oldest of the non-BCS bowls, beginning play in 1947. Before 1968 the game featured matchups between schools throughout the South, often featuring the Ohio Valley Conference champion. From 1968 through 1975 the bowl featured the Mid-American Conference champion against an opponent from the Southern Conference (through 1972), the Southeastern Conference (1972-1973) or an at-large opponent (1975). As the major football conferences relaxed restrictions on post-season play in the mid-1970s, the game went to a matchup between two at-large teams from major conferences, with one school typically (but not always) from the South.

Nowadays, it has tie ins with the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten and traditionally picks the runner-up from the Big Ten and one of the top few teams from the SEC to compete in the game. As of 2005, it is arguably the most prestigious of the non-BCS bowls, and almost always is the last to begin before the BCS bowls start to kick off.

The 1973 game was played at Gainesville, Florida, the home field of one of the participants.
