Fiesta Bowl history
[
edit
]
Prior to the
2014?15 NCAA football season
, the Fiesta Bowl became one of the six bowls that comprise the
College Football Playoff
(CFP). This game between Boise State and Arizona ended the Fiesta Bowl's 16-year tie-in with the Big 12; since 1999, the Big 12 champion had hosted the Fiesta Bowl when it is not playing in the national championship game.
The preceding Fiesta Bowl
was actually played on
New Year's Day
, which naturally was also in 2014. There therefore were
two
2014 Fiesta Bowls.
