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

Yeah. Haven't been to the stadium but understand it's spectacular. The Cap One Bowl plays in a sewer. 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.
Quite frankly, I had no problem w/ the old system -- the BCS blows. Under the old system, you'd have Oregon - Nebraska: Rose Bowl; Alabama - Notre Dame: Sugar Bowl; KSU - FSU: Orange Bowl; and LSU - Texas Cotton Bowl. Not bad.

According to Wikipedia, Cotton Bowl payout is $6.5MM, while Cap One is $4.25MM.
Cotton > Cap One
Plus, Cotton about to be one of the playoff bowls, while Cap One will not be.

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...
