What are you saying? Pre Cowboys Stadium Cotton Bowls were one of the 4 premier bowls.

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.
