THE SOFTER SIDE OF FOOTBALL:
THE COTTON BOWL

The Cotton Bowl, a revered institution in American college football, boasts a storied history that traces back to its founding in 1937. The brainchild of Dallas oilman J. Curtis Sanford, the inaugural game kicked off on January 1, 1937, at the Cotton Bowl stadium in Dallas, Texas. Originally conceived to bolster tourism in Dallas, the Cotton Bowl swiftly ascended to a position of eminence and influence within the college football community.

Traditionally held on New Year's Day, the Cotton Bowl was one of the major bowl games, often featuring top teams from the Southwestern and Southeastern United States. Its importance grew as it became part of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) in 1998, aligning it with the national championship race and attracting higher-ranked teams.

In 2014, the Cotton Bowl was anointed as one of the six esteemed bowls in the College Football Playoff (CFP) system, a testament to its enduring significance. It now takes center stage, hosting national semifinal games every three years in rotation with the other New Year's Six bowls: the Rose, Orange, Sugar, Peach, and Fiesta Bowls. This pivotal role in the CFP system underscores the Cotton Bowl's influence in determining the national champion.

The competition typically features high-profile teams from various conferences, but the participants can vary depending on conference agreements and CFP selections. Historically, Big 12 and Southeastern Conference (SEC) teams have often competed in the Cotton Bowl. Still, introducing the CFP has broadened the pool of potential participants to include top teams from across the nation.

The Cotton Bowl is not just a game but a celebrated event in college football, drawing large crowds and significant media attention. It symbolizes excellence and tradition in the sport, providing memorable moments and contributing to the cultural fabric of college football in America.
