	The Cotton Bowl started to lose some of its luster late in the decade when the SWC was disbanded, but I included it for the whole 10 years anyway because there were still some Top-10 teams playing in it throughout the decade.

	Hard to believe Oklahoma didnt play in a major bowl in the 90s.

	i like that you left the cotton in there, it was a great bowl back years ago and one of the few that was cold a good portion of the time.

	These quizzes are going to get a lot tougher for the 2000s, when there's a lot more random teams and you can't just scroll through conferences to figure out the automatic tie-ins. A suggestion, if you do a 2000s quiz, would be to include the Cotton, Citrus/Capital One and Gator Bowls (the traditional New Year's Day bowls) to make it different from a BCS-only quiz that's probably been done already.

	Notre Dame used to be good?!

	Not a single major bowl game for Oklahoma? WOW.

	The Cotton Bowl still is a major bowl that regularly has Top 10 teams. As recently as 2007 the Cotton Bowl had the No. 3 ranked team from the final BCS standings (Missouri) because Oklahoma went to the BCS Title Game and the Orange Bowl took No. 7 Kansas even though Missouri beat them the week before and finished ahead of them in the conference standings and every poll. The Cotton Bowl also has decided more national titles than the Fiesta. The Cotton and Capital One Bowls are probably the two best non-BCS bowls.

	LSU also didn't make it to a major college bowl in the nineties. And I forgot about Syracuse.

	The "OMG Oklahoma no appearances!" posts betray a lack of knowledge about the sport. Oklahoma was bad in the 90s. USC had a down decade, Miami fell off for a bit, Notre Dame fell off the map halfway through, and Alabama/Auburn/LSU were all mediocre to bad for much of the decade. Georgia also wasn't a power, and Ohio St didn't have a power decade either. The NCAA landscape changes decade to decade. A perennial or traditional power is one that can not have too many off decades, and certainly not too many in a row.

Comment below threshold: show it

	@PWT3- A little harsh, but youre right. Sure I tried Oklahoma, but wasnt shocked when they didnt come up. They started the 90s with the post Switzer/Jamelle Holloway etc 2 year bowl ban and it took them a while to recover.

	OMG! hard to believe that Nebraska wasn't on all 10 years!

	Only managed to remember Syracuse because I had the NFL Network on while taking this quiz, and they were showing Donovan McNabb driving the Eagles down the field in the 2004 NFC Championship haha

	I love the Tangerine Bowl...er...Capital One Bowl. What is amazing is if you look back at the teams that played in it, early to mid 70's, Miami(Oh)Indians/Redhawks won it 3 years in a row versus Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina! Hell, the Toledo Rockets won that game 3 years in a row, also! After that, they quit inviting the smaller schools...probably afraid of the embarrassment!
