read on ESPN where the Cotton Bowl has an out clause this year to take Notre Dame instead of an SEC team even if they finish out 7-5.
And that kind of garbage is the exact reason the Cotton Bowl fell off the pecking order list into Gator and Peach Bowl level.
They were part of the first "Bowl Alliance" for the 1992 season. Bowl that was tied in with the highest ranked team go to pick first (except the Rose,of course
)SEC Champ Alabama was #2,so the Sugar picked #1 Miami. Texas A&M was #3,so the Cotton was supposed to pick #4 Florida State.Nope,they picked Notre Dame. Regardless of LSU,I hope they do pick 7-5 Notre Dame and never get a chance at BCS status again. Dopes.
