The Camellia Bowl was the name of a college football playoff game. Sacramento, California, the Camellia City, hosted 16 college football bowl games between 1961 and 1980 in Hughes Stadium.
From 1964 through 1972, the Camellia Bowl was one of four season-ending bowls (quarterfinals) in the NCAA College Division, the predecessor of Division II (and Division III). There were no semifinals or finals and the NCAA College Division championship was determined by a poll; the system was revised in 1973 with the creation of Division II and its full playoff structure. That year the Camellia Bowl became the Division II Championship game for three years, and after a four-year hiatus, it was the Division I-AA title game in 1980.
