Houston or Port City would be convenient for me.... Playing Texas in Houston would be amazing.

I actually don't want Texas. I don't think we match up well with them. Also I really, really, really want to win this bowl game. Texas is playing better and improving, so I don't think that game is a slam dunk for us. (this is the thinking that gets us in trouble in the bowl games)
I want a team that we can obliterate.
Give me Cincinnati, Houston, UCF, Maryland, BYU, W. Michigan, Utah, USC, etc.
Meh, they're playing better defensively, but they're still very much a down team in a weak conference. The only team they've played that resembles what we do in any way, shape or form was Kansas State, and they got obliterated. They've won 4 of their last 5, but that's against Iowa State, Tech, West Virginia, and OSU, and they sport a combined record of 17-26.
In terms of winability, I'd actually rather play a down big name like Texas than an overachieving, hungry non-AQ team. That, and the worst playcalling I've ever seen almost got us beat the last time we played in the Liberty Bowl.

My ranking based purely on selfishness:
1)Shreveport
Will be in the ArkLaTex over Christmas and already have been offered VIP tickets.
2)Nashville
I live 90 minutes from the stadium and well, its Nasville.
3)Memphis
Only ~4 hours away, bbq, Tunica, etc. Main drawbacks are that its in Memphis and for some reason its always colder than fricking North Dakota the night of the Liberty Bowl.
4)B'ham
Only ~90 minutes to Legion Field.....that's the only positive I can think of.

If the dynamics were the same as they were a few years ago and it wasn't part of the playoff, I'd say we'd have a decent chance at the Cotton Bowl if we beat Mizzou, but that's in a different life.

a6 6/6 or 7/5 Not a chance...
BCS picks were NC game, BCS bowl, Cap 1/Cotton Meaning 4th/5th in the league with usually East going Cap 1 and West going Cotton..

By "past dynamics," I'm referring to the pre-Cowboys stadium Cotton Bowls, before it took a step up in prominence and way before it became part of the playoff scenario.
We went to the Cotton in both 1999 and 2001 with a 7-4 regular season record. We travel well and are nationally recognized as a very good team this year in spite of our record -- it would have made sense.

What are you saying? Pre Cowboys Stadium Cotton Bowls were one of the 4 premier bowls.
When we left the SWC the Cotton and a flagship less conference were pushed out of the BCS from cash gifts. Aka. Bribes. Aka bought outright by the Fiesta Bowl.
Fiesta Bowl was shady as hell.
The Rose, Sugar, Orange, and Cotton Bowls were the creme de la creme for decades.

I'm talking about the roughly decade worth of post-SWC collapse, pre-Cowboys Stadium Cotton Bowls, and we played in three of them (seasons - 1999, 2001 and 2007) with an average record of 7-4. MSU was 8-4 in 1998, Tennessee was 8-4 in 2000, LSU had a 8-4 record in 2002, and A&M had a 7-4 record in 2004. Heck, the 1995 Cotton Bowl was between 7-3-1 USC and 6-5 Texas Tech, and that's essentially as far back as I'm referencing. It's not unfathomable for a 7-5 Arkansas team to go to the Cotton Bowl under those post-SWC collapse, pre-Cowboys Stadium dynamics. That's the decade plus window I'm talking about.

After the last two years, everything seems like a long time ago
