The Orange Blossom Classic was an annual postseason college football game held between 1933 and 1978. Each year, it featured Florida A&M and another historically black school in an unofficial de facto championship game.Super Bowl Catches Up to Orange Blossom Classic, The New York Times, February 3, 2007, retrieved February 7, 2009. It was seen as a mythical "Black National Championship" game. For example, the December 5, 1942 "Afro American" newspaper refers to the 1942 game as a national title game, as does at least one source for the 1945 game (see: ).

  • The Orange Blossom Classic was an annual postseason college football game held between 1933 and 1978. Each year, it featured Florida A&M and another historically black school in an unofficial de facto championship game.Super Bowl Catches Up to Orange Blossom Classic, The New York Times, February 3, 2007, retrieved February 7, 2009.

Presently, an occasional regular season game between Florida A&M and Florida International is called the Orange Blossom Classic.Dave Marks, "Florida A&M band highlights annual Orange Blossom Classic", Miami Times, November 23, 2004. Florida International, however, is not a historically black college. These two teams last played in 2005 and are not scheduled to meet again in the near future.
