This past January, the three major South Florida airports of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and WPB combined for over 3.9 million passengers flying into those airports alone.... that's over 125,000 passengers arriving every single day.
A few extra thousand people staying in a hotel room is a drop in the bucket compared to the volume of vacationers down there at any given time... especially the winter months.
I can assure you that Miami has no problem filling hotel rooms around the New Years holiday.
Florida is likely to bring more fans than Alabama anyway. Many may drive home that day, but I would think the Orange Bowl would care more about stadium attendance than hotel rooms.

Actually the bowls themselves can make it without attendance because of the insane TV money these days. It's why you see so many bowls, so poorly attended but they keep adding bowls to the slate.
However, a good bowl committee understands the politics of the community and would work hard to fill the town with people to spend money on hotels, food, entertainment, etc...
