The Orange Bowl is a post-season college football game that has been played in Miami, Florida since 1935.
The 2006 Orange Bowl was played on 3 January 2006 at the 75,000-seat Dolphins Stadium in Miami. The Florida State Seminoles, champions of NCAA football's Atlantic Coast Conference, met the Penn State Nittany Lions of the Big Ten Conference.
It was the sixth Bowl Championship Series (BCS) appearance for Florida State in eight years, and the first-ever for Penn State, who were 9-point favorites to handle the Seminoles. In the end, it took three overtimes to decide a hard-fought game. Kevin Kelly, who earlier missed two makeable field goals, hit from 29 yards to send Penn State to a 26-23 victory and the Orange Bowl title.

History of the Orange Bowl
On New Year's Day 1935, Bucknell and Miami met in the first college football game to be known as the Orange Bowl. Between 1968 and 1997, the game featured the champion of the now-defunct Big Eight Conference (members of the Big Eight went on to form the basis of the current Big 12 Conference).
Since 1998, with the creation of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), the Orange Bowl has played host once every four years to the National Championship Game of NCAA football. That format changes for the 2006-2007 season when a designated BCS title game is added to the bowl lineup.
From 1935 to 1995, the game was played at Orange Bowl Stadium in Miami. In 1996 the game was moved to Pro Player Stadium, now known as Dolphins Stadium. With the sponsorship of the courier company FedEx (formally Federal Express) in 1989, the game became officially known as the FedEx Orange Bowl.
