re: Is the Cotton Bowl the best Non-BCS bowl now or is it still Capital One?

I prefer the Chic Fil A over the Cap One and the Cotton
I love going to the Chic Fila A bowl. It is a great trip. I haven't been to Jerry's World..
I live in Orlando and have attended the cap one bowl several times. I swore I would never step foot in that place again after the 2010 game. I've never seen anything like that game. The field was literally falling apart and it had easily 4" of mud under the sod. They should have cancelled that game or moved it.
It sucked.

I think the Cotton Bowl has overtaken the Cap One Bowl in prestige. There is no comparison when it comes to the venues either.

Cotton Bowl and it's not even close.
That game against A&M in 2010/2011 felt just like a BCS bowl.

The 2010 Capital One bowl debacle really soured me on that one.
Yep. It was shameful that the conditions were so bad. I thought we'd lose players to injuries there for sure.

The Cotton Bowl historically/traditionally was one of the Big 4 major bowls, but at some point (I'm not exactly sure when) the Fiesta Bowl edged them out of the Big 4.
Because the actual "Cotton Bowl" is a dump and is worthless. Once Jerry World was built, the brand name of the bowl game gained A LOT of ground.
I still can't believe that Texas and OU play in the "Cotton Bowl" each year...

Cotton, but I am praying for Sugar. If not, it will be the Capital One and I am not going for that one. Cotton will take A&M if they beat Missouri on Saturday.
We need to have K State or Oregon lose this week and also Florida to lose. Then we should move up to #5. Then we should move ahead of the bama uga loser to #4 to get the bcs bid. I know Bama beat us, but I think we would have the nod since we went 3-0 and they would have gone 2-2, considering the 2 wins were Western Carolina and auburn. At least Moo State was ranked when we beat them.

that game is still considered part of the texas state fair and the cotton bowl stadium is on the fairgrounds .. but, it is only a matter of time before Jerrah gets that game at his place ..

According to Wikipedia, Cotton Bowl payout is $6.5MM, while Cap One is $4.25MM.
Yeah, that's not right. Capital One is a combined 8.5, Cotton is 7.25.

But thanks to conference revenue sharing, payouts don't really matter. It's just personal preference. Traditionally, New Years Day bowls are the premier games. But that's not so much the case anymore.

I wish Capital One Bowl was still called Tangerine Bowl or Citrus Bowl...I hate bowls to be named exclusively after a company. Like Chick-fil-a Bowl and Peach Bowl
Why not just call them "Peach Bowl", "Citrus Bowl" etc...? That's what I do. If everyone who's not paid to discuss college football just called the bowl games by their original names, maybe they would stop naming bowl games after corporate sponsors.
Look at Candlestick Park for example. They changed the name to 3com park, but no one was using it. Now it's Candlestick again. The Superdome also had problems getting a corpoarte sponsor because of the brand that "Superdome" had established over the years. I don't care what anyone pays to name the Superdome, it will ALWAYS be the "Superdome".
If we wouldn't fall for the shite, they wouldn't get away with it.

without the corporate sponsors, the bowls cease to exist .. the naming rights are the most valuable things the bowls themselves can sell .. the naming rights fees generally pay most, if not all of the pay out to the two teams ..

As a fan the cotton bowl is better than any other bowl game BCS or otherwise.
Cap one totally sux!

Even if they replaced the field, Cap One bowl sucks.
Give me Dallas any day, much closer.
