The Miami Hurricanes first two National Championships and three of their first four came after victories in the Orange Bowl. They defeated Nebraska in the 1984 and 1992 games and Oklahoma in the 1988 Orange Bowl Classic.
Georgia will get a chance in this season’s National Championship game at the new Mercedes Benz Dome in Atlanta. Florida, Florida State, LSU and Texas are the only other schools to clinch National Titles in their home state.
The Orange Bowl has had more teams clinch in their home state than any other game. Miami’s three, and Florida and Florida State’s one each top the Trojans four titles in the Rose Bowl.
