I have to say the BCS comes out a little better this year.
before the Bcs and the B12. the cotton bowl was the fifth major bowl. that would have taken a SWC team (texas, tt). OU would have been the B8 winner and off to the orange bowl. fla-sugar, rose p10-b10, fiesta got it's choice of second place teams usually b8 (okst) and ? Bama would have had it's choice orange, cotton, fiesta. fiesta not tied to a conference always ended up with the best game. utah and boise had NO shot at a NY day's game.
