Trivia question: Who was the last national champ to NOT win one of the 4 major bowls (Orange, Sugar, Fiesta, Rose) in their NC season?
Cotton was a major long before the Fiesta.

By his definition I think it is Notre Dame in 199something

And you don't have to go back that far for the Cotton to be included here.

No NC won the Cotton in the 90s....

You mentioned 4 major bowls.  There are 5.  My only point.

Yay, let's go off-topic here.

The Cotton Bowl was a major, yes.  But for the timetable of the trivia question, the Cotton is irrelevant.

No need to get your panties in a twist just because you mis-worded the question.  If you'd said "these 4 major bowls" and listed them, it would have been fine.

If the Bluebonnet Bowl was the #1 most prestigious bowl in 1940, but the trivia question has to do with the 70s, then why bring up the Bluebonnet Bowl????  
I'm getting tired of people wigging out about the irrelevant.

Aha!  An actual valid response requiring me to be more specific.  Good on you!
Technically, you're right.

So let me add, NCGs not included.  
Thank you for that.
