The GMAC Bowl is a post-season NCAA-sanctioned Division I Football Bowl Subdivision college football bowl game that has been played annually at Ladd Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama since 1999. It pits a Conference USA team (home team) against a team from either the Mid-American Conference or the Western Athletic Conference. The game was previously known as the Mobile Alabama Bowl from 1999 to 2000 until it received corporate sponsorship from GMAC Financial Services, formerly a unit of General Motors.

The 2001 game between the Marshall Thundering Herd and East Carolina Pirates set the record as the highest scoring bowl game of all time, and Marshall achieved what was then the greatest scoring comeback in Bowl history.

Thundering Herd quarterback Byron Leftwich, later of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons, threw for 576 yards in the game.

The 2007 edition of the game was played on January 7, 2007, making it the next-to-last bowl game in the 2006-07 bowl season prior to the BCS National Championship Game the following night. The Golden Eagles of Southern Mississippi knocked off the Ohio Bobcats, 28-7. The 2008 edition of the contest took place the night before the BCS National Championship Game once again on Sunday, January 6, 2008. The game became the largest blowout in bowl history, with Tulsa beating Bowling Green, 63-7.
