Miami has 23 conference championships with 12 postseason bowl game appearances and 7 bowl game victories. [2] The RedHawks have also had 13 undefeated seasons, a longest winning streak of 14 games between 2003 and 2004 and a home winning streak of 14 games between 1973 and 1975, and also between 1980 and 1982. [3]

Football was introduced to the university in 1888. The first win in the history of the program came the following year, a 44–0 shutout over Dayton High School on November 9, 1889. [2] From 1888 to 1910, Miami competed as a football independent, before they joined the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) in 1911. From 1911 to 1927, Miami saw some success as they had only three losing seasons and four conference championships. In 1928, Miami left the OAC and became a charter member of the Buckeye Conference. [2] As a member of the Buckeye Conference, Miami won conference championships in 1932, 1933, and 1936. [2] In 1939 the conference dissolved and Miami competed independently again.

By 1948 Miami joined the MAC, where it remains today. Miami won the first MAC title in its inaugural year. [2] Miami leads the MAC with 16 conference titles.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bowl game</span> Category of football games in North America

In North America, a bowl game, or simply bowl, is one of a number of postseason college football games that are primarily played by teams belonging to the NCAA's Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). For most of its history, the Division I Bowl Subdivision had avoided using a playoff tournament to determine an annual national champion, which was instead traditionally determined by a vote of sports writers and other non-players. In place of such a playoff, various cities across the United States developed their own regional festivals featuring postseason college football games. Prior to 2002, bowl game statistics were not included in players' career totals. Despite attempts to establish a permanent system to determine the FBS national champion on the field, various bowl games continue to be held because of the vested economic interests entrenched in them.
