The Cheez-it bowl is in Orlando now. Projected teams include OU and Okie State. How did the Cheez-it bowl get elevated over the Alamo bowl?
We may get our shot at SMU after all. LOLOLOL.
That's because the The Cheez-It Bowl, Florida (2020) is not the Cheez-It Bowl from past years in Arizona.
These bowls have just changed sponsorship and thus names. They didn't move from one city to another. Ownership of the respective bowls remain the same and all the particulars/history/priorities, etc are maintained by those ownership groups.
Yea, it's a bit confusing.
Today's Orlando "Cheez-it Bowl" was previously named for other sponsors: Camping World, Russell Athletic, Champs Sports, Tangerine (3 years that the bowl didn't have a sponsor 2001-03), Micro PC, Carquest, and Blockbuster in it's first year 1990.
It is Orlandos #2 bowl - The #1 original bowl in Orlando was the "Tangerine Bowl" circa 1947 that has been known for many years as the "Citrus Bowl" during most of it's modern history. It was best known as the Capital One Bowl and held on Jan 1 annually. Apparently that bowl hasn't had a paid name sponsor since 2014. (Since Capital One has upgraded to sponsor the entire bowl season.)
