ORLANDO, Fla. - Florida Citrus Sports says Orlando's two college bowl games will be played less than three days apart next season.<br>
<br>
The Champs Sports Bowl is scheduled for December 29th at Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium, moving two days closer to the New Year's Day game than it was a year ago. The stadium will then host the Capital One Bowl on January first, 2007.<br>
<br>
It will be the first time in bowl history that two games have been played so close together at the same venue.<br>
<br>
The Champs Sports Bowl will have tie-ins with the Atlantic Coast Conference and Big Ten. The game will feature the A-C-C's third post-B-C-S selection and the third or fourth post-B-C-S pick in the Big Ten, making it the only bowl to pit the conferences against each another.<br>
