Bowl Predictions

VS

COTTON BOWL

Auburn 8-3 vs Texas 8-3

The Cotton Bowl was originally one of the big four bowls, prior to the BCS. The Fiesta Bowl got the nod over the Cotton Bowl as the fourth and final BCS bowl in 1998. This past spring when discussions arose over the possibility of a fifth BCS game, the Cotton was never mentioned. Instead, one of the existing BCS games will host an additional national title game one week later. The Dallas bowl game lives on with the second place team from the Big 12 facing off against the fifth place team from the SEC, usually the second place finisher in the SEC West. Texas is everybody's national title favorite ,other than USC, but will fall short of expectations. Auburn missed out on the national title last year, but won't come close this year.
