On K-State's Bowl Game

Yahoo! Sports shows K-State's bowl game this holiday season--January 6--against Arkansas University as the "Happiest Game" of all the bowl games: "Organizers make no bones about the Cotton Bowl's bid for a call-up from the BCS — they've ditched New Year's Day in the Cotton Bowl itself for a later date in Jerry Jones' $1 billion Holodeck in Arlington — and they've got a BCS-worthy matchup for their trouble: Arkansas and Kansas State are both 10-2, both finished in the top eight of the final BCS standings, and could have easily landed in one of the big-money games themselves if not for a) Finishing third in a division that also includes the two teams squaring off for the BCS championship, and b) Being inexplicably snubbed by the Sugar Bowl in favor of Virginia Tech, respectively. Between them, three of the Razorbacks and Wildcats' four losses came at the hands of the top three teams in every poll; the fourth came against then-No. 11 Oklahoma. The winner is likely headed for its best landing in the final polls in decades, and the Cotton gets to join the Fiesta, Rose and BCS Championship Game as the only games that will host two top-10 teams." Enjoy, y'all.
