Orange Bowl 2017: Updated Odds and Preview for Miami vs. Wisconsin
Both the Wisconsin Badgers and the Miami Hurricanes felt the bitter disappointment of late-season losses that knocked them out of the College Football Playoff race, but a win in the Orange Bowl would be a nice consolation prize for either team.
It's fitting that the Hurricanes would find themselves in the game in the year when they have re-emerged as a championship contender. This is Miami's first Orange Bowl appearance since 2004, but it's the bowl the program has appeared in more than any other.
Wisconsin, on the other hand, will be making its first Orange Bowl appearance and its second bowl game against the Hurricanes. Wisconsin handed Miami a 20-9 loss in the Champs Sports Bowl in 2009.
