Wish they could have gotten Texas/Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.

Isn’t Cowboys Stadium (now AT&T Stadium) one of the sites that will now hold the championship game with the new four-team playoff format?

True dat. The poor ol' Cotton Bowl stadium has been home to so many games for the ages. Still home to The Red River Shootout... and maybe some Texas high school games?

Outdated, and no one doing anything to modernize it. Also located in a part of town that people don't necessarily want to travel to.

So yeah, the Cotton Bowl, where the average high temp is what, in the 40's, got left out and the Fiesta Bowl, located in sunny and warm Arizona, moved in.

You'd think that some local bazillionaire would step in and renovate and preserve the place for posterity on the condition that it have his name put on it on something. /s
