The ACC had yet to be formed when North Carolina last participated in a major college bowl game. The Tar Heels, then a Southern Conference member, played Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 1949 before playing Rice in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 1, 1950. Now, UNC is coming off a blowout of Miami in the same stadium the Orange Bowl is held. (Asheville Citizen-Times)
