This would guarantee Texas the Cotton Bowl ber th by virtue of its 15-13 win over the Razorbacks. If you’re starting to get diz2y, don’t read any further. What could happen if the even tual SWC champion ends up with two losses? Once again, let’s exclude the pos sibility of TCU or Rice playing the role of spoiler. If Arkansas beats A&M, the Ag gies can still tie for the SWC title if Texas beats Baylor, A&M beats Texas, and SMU beats Arkansas. This would leave Texas A&M, Texas, Arkansas and Baylor tied for first with two losses apiece. The Ag gies would get the nod for Dallas since the other three teams have gone to the Cotton Bowl more re cently than the Ags, whose last visit was in 1968. If Rice or TCU pulls a major up set, it would throw a monkey wrench into the already baffling SWC Cot ton Bowl picture. 11 Rice beats Baylor and. Baylor heats Texas, and A&M loses to Ar kansas and Texas, the Razorbacks could lose to SMU and still go since Baylor and Texas have been to the Cotton Bowl more recently. A&M then If TCU beats A&M and beats Arkansas and Texas, A&M could go if Rice or Texas beats Baylor. If TCU beats Texas, it would just about eliminate the ’Horns. The- only way the ’Horns could lose to TCU and still go wohld he it A&M, Baylor and Arkansas all lost two more games. Can the SWC champion have three conference losses? No. Six of the 10 combined games left for the contenders are against each other. And after examining the schedule, mymath showed that it’s impossible for each of the four teams to have three losses. So who’s going to Dallas? Count on the Thanksgiving Day game at Kyle Field to tell the story. The Longhorns will either give up a key turnover that will decide the game for the Aggies or the Aggies will miss a game-winning field goal or penalize themselves all the way to El Paso. And who’s the competition going to be? This year it looks like the Cotton Bowl officials may get an entire foot ball team instead of Doug f lntie and his cheerleaders. Look for the Big 10 runner-up, whether it’s Michigan, Ohio State, or Iowa, to be in Dallas on Jan- 1. If that’s the case, it probably won’t matter much which SWC team goes to Dallas. After the Wolverines, Buckeyes, or Hawkeyes leave town, Texas football fans wall be trying to forget the 1986 Cotton Bowl. Get Ready for Cool Weather with ' ...the ONE that lasts!
