Miami Hurricanes to to Face Wisconsin Badgers In Orange Bowl

Miami is staying home for bowl season, and will meet Wisconsin in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30.

The Hurricanes (10-2) are going to the Orange Bowl for the 10th time, and it's played in Hard Rock Stadium — Miami's home field. Miami is on a two-game losing streak, but gets the berth after being the highest-ranked Atlantic Coast Conference team that is not part of the College Football Playoff.

Wisconsin (12-1) is coming off its first loss of the season, falling 27-21 to Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game. That loss probably kept the Badgers out of the CFP field.

The Hurricanes and Badgers haven't played in eight years, and that was at the Champs Sports Bowl. Both have strong defenses, with Wisconsin's ranking No. 1 nationally in yards allowed in No. 2 in points allowed.
