I'm actually glad you made that distinction. Obviously the Cotton Bowl has some of the richest history in CFB, but for a while there it was on the same level as the Outback (which used to be one rare bowls when it was the Hall of Fame Bowl). The only difference between the Cotton and the Outback was which SEC division you were in.

We were also in a number of Gator Bowls when it was a major bowl, but won none. :l

Yeah it's obviously where the SWC champ had to go play for over 50 years and was part of the Bowl Coalition. It got replaced by the Fiesta in the Bowl Alliance and BCS though.
