Somewhat off SEC, but still related (Cotton Bowl)

I 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. You LSU fans may not have to worry about freezing your tails off in Dallas in January.

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.

I'm still pissed off at the Cotton Bowl for that 1969 screw job - kept the Tigers on the string while all other bowls got their matchups. Would be fine with me if we never went to the CB again.

Notre Dame better pray to dear God that they don't get sent to the Cotton to play the third-slotted Big 12 Team.

why not roughneck? I'd love to see the domers give up 1,000 yards in a game.

If ND wants to end their bowl losing streak this season, they had better hope they don't go to the Cotton Bowl.

Texas Tech 73 Notre Dame 10 would be pretty funny.

Oh rest assured, I'd love it too. Notre Dame? Not so much.
Notre Dame gets slotted into the Cotton Bowl and you can just go ahead and chalk up their tenth straight bowl loss.

ND would get their arse beat in the Gator Bowl against an ACC team.

Being that they are ND, they will get a decent bowl playing an 8 or 9 win team. The streak will continue.

if LSU, ND, and Ole Miss all finish 7-5 i could see the cotton taking ND

Yeah, that's what came to my mind. That and LSU fans on this board don't seem thrilled with the idea of playing in the Cotton Bowl this season.

It's for this year and next year that ND can be an option over SEC West #2.
I don't know why everyone wants LSU to go to the Cotton Bowl. I'm pretty sure that we would get destroyed no matter who plays from the Big 12. The team this year matches up much better with a Big 10 or ACC team. I'm pulling for LSU vs Michigan State.

Never seen the out clause, but why would the SEC team be the one that gets outed from the Cotton Bowl?
