Title: A&M is playing Mississippi State in the TaxSlayer Bowl... Post by: droner on December 03, 2017, 10:25:46 EST When is the last time two teams from the same conference played each other in a bowl? (Other than in the NC game.)
I don't know the answer to this question but I think it's odd that they're playing each other in a bowl. Title: Re: A&M is playing Mississippi State in the TaxSlayer Bowl...

Perhaps the last was Archie Manning, with a broken arm, leading Ole Miss to a Gator Bowl win over Auburn in '69 or '70??? BG Title: Re: A&M is playing Mississippi State in the TaxSlayer Bowl...

Found it: 1972 UT won 24-17 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Astro-Bluebonnet_Bowl Title: Re: A&M is playing Mississippi State in the TaxSlayer Bowl... Post by: LouisVOL on December 04, 2017, 07:41:26 EST MSU playing Louisville, A&M playing Wake Forest in the Belk Bowl.

Shocking news. It happens, but MSU-tamu would be a very odd choice. Little to no drama in that one. You are forgetting the biggest, least fair rematch in the history of college football.
