Notre Dame vs Texas rematch: CBS projects iconic schools meet in bowl season

According to bowl projections from CBS Sports, the Texas Longhorns and Notre Dame are on a collision course for a NY6 bowl.

The Texas Longhorns. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish. These two football programs are among the most prestigious in college football history. Texas and Notre Dame rank fourth and fifth respectively in all-time wins. The two have 1,824 wins combined. A bowl game between the two schools brings back some memories of their battles at the Cotton Bowl.

January 1, 1970 at the Cotton Bowl immediately comes to mind. Trailing 17-14 with 6:52 left in the fourth quarter, James Street led the comeback. Texas was trailing after Joe Theismann led the Irish 80 yards to take the lead. Street found Cotton Speyrer to get the ball to the two-yard line. A run by Billy Dale gave Texas the win. They were named the Coaches Poll National Champions. It wasn’t until the 2016 thriller that the Longhorns would beat Notre Dame again.

It took overtime in 2016 to decide a winner between these two teams. Quarterback Tyrone Swoopes sealed the deal when he dove into the endzone to cap off a 50-47 victory.

Could we see this matchup again for the 13th time in their history? CBS Sports thinks so in their latest bowl projections. The Longhorns and Fighting Irish would meet in the Cotton Bowl at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. These two schools have met in the historic bowl game three times. Texas won the first matchup and fell in the next two.

A trip to North Texas likely means the Longhorns finished second in the conference to Oklahoma to earn a NY6 bowl berth. It would be a welcomed sight but we know the Longhorns are aiming to knock Oklahoma down a peg. Oklahoma is projected to battle Alabama in the Rose Bowl. We know how well that went last time.

Big 12 Projections:

Rose Bowl- Oklahoma vs Alabama
Cotton Bowl- Texas vs Notre Dame
Alamo Bowl- Iowa State vs SMU
Liberty Bowl- TCU vs Mississippi State
Sun Bowl- Kansas State vs Pittsburgh
First Responder Bowl- Texas Tech vs Rice
Cheez It Bowl- Baylor vs Louisville
Cactus Bowl- West Virginia vs Texas State
Texas Bowl- Oklahoma State vs Missouri
Frisco Bowl- Kansas vs Arkansas

Looks like everyone is going bowling this year.
