Texas A&M and not Texas may be in the Cotton Bowl. Currently, Cal is 4th in the BCS rankings and Texas is 5th. However, they are separated by only .0013 with Cal having an upcoming game at Southern Miss. You ask why this is relevant? Because a BCS conference school that finishes in the top 4 is guaranteed a spot in a BCS bowl. Cal or Texas? If Texas overcomes Cal in the BCS this week, then Texas A&M will represent the BigXII in the Cotton Bowl. It won't take much for Texas to move up either.... but I won't bore you with the details.... just know that if a few voters move Cal down, even if they don't lose their spot in the polls, they will lose valuable poll points that are used in the calculation..... and it doesn't take that many points to put Texas at 4.
