Well to be fair, the BCS opponent would have been Virginia Tech which would have been boring as frick. The star attraction of Chase Daniel vs Darren McFadden was the draw, interim coach and your shitty record be damned. It was kinda like playing the Chicago Bulls in the early years of the Jordan era. They sucked, but the nation would still watch to see if Jordan would go off for 63 points. That was you guys with McFadden in the Cotton Bowl. Only problem was it was Tony Temple who went off for 63.

The Mizzou-Arkansas Cotton Bowl in 2008 sold out faster than any other Cotton Bowl on record. They like us, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility. However, the tradition of generally taking an SEC West team will probably win out. It's hard to see them not taking either LSU or A&M if either is available.
We're waaaaay past due for the Cotton to take a East team, plus Jerry doesn't care as long as the place is filled ... but it is doubtful they'll take the second place team from the East. And I'm not trolling ... so even if SCAR were to finish the regular season 10-2 but Mizzou went to Atlanta, the Cotton may not take SCAR even if Bama/Auburn went BCSing, (or both).
If Auburn loses to Bama, and that's a big IF at this point, and SCAR were to beat Clemson and Mizzou loses to A&M ... I dunno, it's an interesting thought.

The bowl selections have gotten better but I remember one year MSU went to the Peach Bowl despite only losing 2 games.

I don't. He's an awful poster. And likely an awful person.

The only standard is that the Cotton usually goes West and the Outback goes East but even that is not set in stone.
Tennessee is the only East team that has played in the Cotton Bowl since the current SEC/Big 12 matchup was struck in '98 and even then it's only been twice.
Since '98 season:
Arkansas - 4
Ole Miss - 3
LSU - 2
Tennessee - 2
Alabama - 1
Auburn - 1
Mississippi St - 1
Texas A&M - 1
