Cotton Bowl to Change and Move

[raherndon]

Guy got his story confused.
The Cotton Bowl is moving to the new sadium and will probally become a BCS bowl soon.
The REPLACEMENT for the Cotton Bowl will be the Big Ten/USA matchup

The Canadian Press: Dallas organizes new bowl to replace Cotton Bowl in Fair Park stadium

From the Tennessean:

DALLAS REPLACES COTTON BOWL

The replacement for the Cotton Bowl game has been lined up. Dallas city leaders say the Dallas Football Classic is planned for New Years Day 2011. The plans calls for using teams from the Big Ten to play teams from the Conference USA and the Big 12 on a rotating basis. The first game will pit the 7th ranked team from the Big 12 against the 6th ranked team from the Big Ten. Then on New years Day 2012 it will be the Big 10 vs Conference USA with the order repeated for 2012 and 2014 under a plan revealed by bowl organizers.

The plan needs NCAA approval.

The Cotton bowl game is moving to the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington this season.

No mention of BCS now or in the future.

5 or 6 teams finishing the regular season undefeated would cream the "season is a playoff" argument.

I think it was already creamed in 2004. Logicially it's creamed from the beginning. Honestly is a pretty stupid argument.

I didn't want to start a new thread just for this, so hopefully someone will see it in here and know the answer:

With the Gator Bowl becoming an SEC bowl next season, where will it fall in terms of the selection hierarchy? I mean, now we're looking at 3 matchups in Florida on New Year's Day for B10 vs SEC. I don't know about others here, but I hate that matchup for us. I'd rather play a Big 12 team any day (heck, even an ACC team would be better IMO). Anyways, just curious if anyone knows how this is all going to shake out.

The team shake-up is one thing, but moving it out of the actual Cotton Bowl absolutely sucks. The place is a college football icon.

the place is a neglected toilet. There is no wonder why the Cotton bowl is on the outside looking in when it come to the BCS. I am truly shocked the Red River shootout isnt moving to the death star too.

Yeah, if that happens, bummer. The Cotton Bowl is one of my favorites.

I live in Dallas. Cotton Bowl will now be played at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington (Jerryworld). Dallas is adding a SECOND bowl game at the Cotton Bowl site in Fair Park. So now Dallas has two bowl games.

If the Vols come to Big D, they will play a Big 12 opponent in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

Come on down and let's show Texas the real UT.

Go Vols
