Texas A&M has accepted a bid to the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, school officials announced today.
The contest, to be played Jan. 7 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, will pit No. 19 A&M (9-3) against an opponent from the Southeastern Conference. The identity of the SEC team will not be known until after Saturday’s SEC Championship Game. But the most likely candidates are No. 11 LSU (10-2) and No. 17 Alabama (9-3).
This will mark the Aggies’ 12th appearance in the Cotton Bowl, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary with this year’s game. A&M last played in the Cotton Bowl in 2005, when the Aggies fell to Tennessee, 38-7.

A&M has beaten both OU and Nebraska, and yet they still haven't moved from #18 in the most recent BCS poll. The BCS is BS, and TCU bolting for the Big East is certainly a bold move, but being the nostalgic person that I am, I'd hoped for somewhat of an old SWC reunion - Jerry Jones wants Arkansas in the Big 12, and TCU seemed like the logical pick for the second opening. My fingers are still crossed for UH and SMU to join....lol (or could it happen?)
