The Dixie Bowl was a post-season college football bowl game held New Year's Day at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama.[1] The game was only held twice, following the 1947 and 1948 seasons, after which it was discontinued.
Both games featured teams from the Southern Conference and the Southwest Conference (SWC), with the SWC representative winning both.
