01/01/15 12:00am 81st Annual Allstate Sugar Bowl
The Allstate Sugar Bowl secured its future through January 2026 with the announcement that it would host the newly-created bowl game featuring the champions of the Southeastern and Big 12 Conferences. This new 12-game arrangement, set to begin following the 2014 regular college football season, will bear the name Sugar Bowl and feature conferences with more BCS National Championship appearances than any other league and places the Bowl at the pinnacle of postseason college football. The SEC leads all conferences with nine National Championship appearances while the Big 12 is second with seven. It is expected that this game will create an annual economic impact surpassing current Bowl figures that have produced over $2 billion for New Orleans and Louisiana over the past decade.
In the first year of the new format, the Allstate Sugar Bowl will be a national semifinal match-up, featuring two of the top four teams in the nation facing off for a spot in the national championship game.
