For the younger fans, you need to know about college football in the pre-1990s era. In 1985, the preseason focus was still conference-centric. Teams in the Big Ten and Pac-10 looked to the Rose Bowl. SEC teams pointed to the Sugar Bowl as their goal. The goal of every SWC team was to play in the Cotton Bowl.

In 1985, the SWC was still credible as a national power conference. Texas and Arkansas were historical national powerhouses.
