2008 Cotton BowlThe Cotton Bowl is one of the classics, and somehow it has managed to find itself no longer on New Years Day, but somehow finds itself with a top tier team in Texas Tech.  The Red Raiders are the forgotten bunch of the Big 12 South after getting blown out by Oklahoma.  There was ton of speculation as to whether the Big 12 could really have some many top notch teams, and thus far they are 3-1 in the Bowls...not too shabby.  Mississippi is no stranger to knocking off top teams, as they beat down Florida 31-30 early on in the season, and also played well against Alabama.  As a matter of fact, they have lost by a combined 18 points in their 4 losses...less than 5 points on average.  Funny enough, that is the spread for this game, so what do we do?
