“It’s truly special when you can create a dream matchup like this featuring two of the biggest brands in college football,” Peach Bowl CEO and president Gary Stokan said in a statement.
Alabama and Miami played twice within a few years as the Hurricanes won their third national title by beating the Tide in the 1990 Sugar Bowl.
A few years later, Alabama got its revenge and beat Gino Torretta and the Hurricanes to win the 1992 national crown.
The two teams have played 17 times — with Alabama winning 14 of those meetings.
