Game Notes: The Cotton Bowl reunites two programs who shared a conference for decades.  Both the Cowboys and Tigers fell short of conference championships during Championship Saturday, but were impressive throughout the season. The Tigers made an unexpected trip to the SEC Championship Game after a dismal inaugural season in 2012, while the Cowboys beat three ranked teams in November (Baylor, Texas and Texas Tech).

Prediction: Missouri
