That's true.
But there is a reason it got left out of the BCS...
It was DOA...long before that.
1978 was the epicenter of last true greatness.
1984 was still important
From 1995 on...total joke. #21 USC vs. unranked Texas Tech.

But that ties in to the SWC issue. 95 was the last year of the SWC and typically it would have been Texas v USC in the Cotton Bowl following that season as Texas won the conference that year. But that was during the Bowl Alliance Years and Texas was sent to the Sugar to play VT. Since the new Big 12 was tied to the Fiesta starting with the 96 season, the Cotton had no conference champion as its anchor…major reason it got left out. Check out the match ups of the early 90s…Miami, ND, Fla St (all were major players at that time) to name a few played in it and all of the match ups featured top 10 teams up to that 95 season.
