Sugar Bowl History

Sugar Bowl Logo

The Sugar Bowl started in 1935, and the matchup currently features schools from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and at-large conferences. The game takes place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana as the previous venue for this contest was Tulane Stadium in New Orleans from 1934-1974. This game was named the USF&G Sugar Bowl and Nokia Sugar Bowl prior to Allstate acquiring sponsorship rights in 2007. 

The Sugar Bowl is part of the College Football Playoff rotation and was part of three semifinal matchups played in 2014, 2018, and 2021.

In Jan. 2021, Ohio State roughed up Clemson 49-28 to punch their ticket to the national title game, a rare 'over' result lately in the Sugar Bowl.

In the Jan. 1, 2022 game between Baylor and Ole Miss, the Bears knocked out Rebels QB Matt Corral early, and then used its defense for a 21-7 low-scoring win. The 'under' is now 6-1 across the past seven Sugar Bowls.

Washington knocked off Texas in the College Football Playoff semifinal in 2023 by a 37-31 count to advance to the National Championship.
