Fiesta Bowl History

The Fiesta Bowl started in 1971 and the matchup currently features schools from at-large conferences. The game takes place at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona as the previous venue for this contest was Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona from 1971-2006. This game was named the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl, IBM OS/2 Fiesta Bowl, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, and Vizio Fiesta Bowl prior to BattleFrog acquiring sponsorship rights in 2015. 

Ohio State won straight four appearances in the Fiesta Bowl from 2002-2015, until that streak ended in the 2016 college football playoff in a 31-0 defeat to Clemson. The 'over' has cashed in five of the last eight seasons, while five of the past six bowls have been decided by 10 points or more. Underdogs have cashed in eight of the past 12 bowls, including five teams listed as six-point underdogs or higher that won outright since 2002. 

LSU became the first SEC squad to win the Fiesta Bowl since Tennessee's national championship win over Florida State in 1998. The Tigers rallied past previously undefeated UCF in the 2018 installment, while handing the Knights their first loss in over two seasons.

Ohio State and Clemson squared off in the second College Football Playoff semifinal, a thriller which came down to the very end. The favored Tigers fell behind early by a 16-0 score, but the Tigers showed their championship mettle, firing back ahead with 21 unanswered points. Ohio State clawed back to take a 23-21 lead, but Clemson again answered with a touchdown and two-point conversion to go up 29-23. An interception in the end zone by the Tigers D sealed it in the final minute, as they advanced to face LSU in the national title game.

In 2020, Iowa State doubled up Oregon 34-17 as the favorite hit. And in the 2021 installment, Oklahoma State outlasted Notre Dame as a one-point favorite, winning 37-35.

Favorites have cashed in six of the past seven five Fiesta Bowls, capped off by Oregon blasting Liberty, 45-6 in 2023.
