One of the premier non-BCS bowl games, the Capital One Bowl should bring two dynamic programs to the New Year’s Day event again this season.

With the No. 2 teams in the powerful Big Ten and SEC scheduled to hook up, it should be a marquee matchup like the Auburn-Wisconsin tilt in the last Capital One Bowl.

The Badgers gave Coach Barry Alvarez one final victorious moment before he stepped down after 16 seasons. While Wisconsin ranked only 41st in rushing, you wouldn’t have known it watching tailback Brian Calhoun rip through the Auburn defense for more than 200 yards in the 24-10 victory.

Calhoun led the nation with 21 rushing touchdowns and added another in the Capital One Bowl. Auburn was expected to decline following its undefeated season last year but the Tigers surprised many by beating Georgia and Alabama. The emergence of running back Kenny Irons was one of the reasons Auburn finished 9-2, but they were stymied by a surprisingly tough Badger defense in getting shut out in the first half.

The Capital One Bowl is a post-season college football game played in Orlando, Florida.

The 2006 Capital One Bowl was played on 2 January 2006 at the 70,000-seat Citrus Bowl in Orlando. Auburn of NCAA football's Southeastern Conference faced off against the University of Wisconsin from the Big Ten Conference.

The game marked the fifth trip to the game for Auburn, while the Badgers made their debut at the Capital One Bowl. Auburn had won three of their previous four Capital One Bowl games, including a 13-9 victory over Penn State in their last appearance in 2003.
