Fiesta Bowl Betting A Major Attraction of the Bowl Season
The Fiesta Bowl has grown since its inception in 1971 into one of the major bowl games on the college football circuit. The Fiesta Bowl betting public waits with great anticipation to see if this year’s contest can match the historic Oklahoma-Boise State finish of last year.
The Bowl game in the desert originated back in 1971 as the Fiesta Bowl officials attracted national powerhouse Florida State to play the home team, the Arizona State University Sun Devils, at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona. Since that time, the Fiesta Bowl has played a major role in the college bowl picture. The Fiesta Bowl has always attracted the interest of the betting public because Fiesta Bowl betting involved teams that were unfamiliar with each other and were good matches. Some of the more memorable bowl games in history took place in the Fiesta Bowl. In 1987, the top two teams in the country met and Penn State won the unofficial (at that time) National Championship by shutting down the vaunted offense of the University of Miami by a score of 14-10. The Fiesta Bowl betting reached a fever pitch in 1993 when Tim Brown led the number 1 ranked Fighting Irish of Notre Dame to a hard fought win over the third rated West Virginia Mountaineers.
When the game was moved to the spanking brand new field at the University of Phoenix this year, the Fiesta Bowl betting was hot and heavy for the favored Sooners of Oklahoma University who had been sporting an eight game winning streak. Their opponents, the Boise State Broncos, were not given much chance. But throwing caution to the wind, the Broncos upset the Fiesta Bowl betting majority by upsetting the Sooners in an unforgettable game by the score of 43-42 in overtime. The Fiesta Bowl betting public will not be so easily fooled by the underdog again. The Fiesta Bowl was also the stage for the crowning of the Buckeyes of Ohio State as National Champions in 2003. The Fiesta Bowl betting public awaits the next installment of delight in the desert.
