"The Longhorns won't be going to the Cotton or Holiday Bowls.

The Cotton said Wednesday it would take the loser of Saturday's Big 12 championship game between Oklahoma and Nebraska. The Holiday announced it was taking Texas A&M.

That leaves either the Gator or Alamo Bowls as the likely destination for the Longhorns."

I don't really understand this exactly.  I see the only way Texas can't go as the no. 2 Big 12 team if OU wins Sat, but even if they do, we'd still have the no. 3 spot in our conference.

I'm not really opposed to the Gator Bowl, but I believe we should be going to Dallas or San Diego.
