Until the mid-1980s, the contest was almost universally counted as a major New Year's Day bowl. However, by the late 1980s, the Cotton Bowl Classic's prestige had fallen significantly. During the 1980s, many SWC teams were left ineligible for postseason play due to <a href="/wiki/National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association" title="National Collegiate Athletic Association">NCAA</a> probations for rule violations. Also, the conference's quality of play suffered a marked decline. The SWC champion lost the last seven times in which it received an automatic bid to the game, and the last national champion for almost four decades to play in the Cotton Bowl Classic was Notre Dame in 1977 (eventual national champions Alabama and Clemson would later play in the Cotton Bowl after the 2015 and 2018 seasons, respectively). Finally, the Cotton Bowl Classic was played outdoors during cold weather on occasion (most notably the 1979 game). </p><p>Meanwhile, the <a href="/wiki/Fiesta_Bowl" title="Fiesta Bowl">Fiesta Bowl</a>, unhindered by conference tie-ins and played in generally warm weather, propelled itself to major-bowl status by attracting <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_FBS_National_Football_Championship" class="mw-redirect" title="NCAA Division I FBS National Football Championship">national championship</a> contenders, most notably with its January <a href="/wiki/1987_Fiesta_Bowl" title="1987 Fiesta Bowl">1987</a> matchup between <a href="/wiki/Penn_State_Nittany_Lions_football" title="Penn State Nittany Lions football">Penn State</a> and <a href="/wiki/Miami_Hurricanes_football" title="Miami Hurricanes football">Miami</a>. In the minds of many fans, the Fiesta replaced the Cotton as a major bowl. Despite this, the Cotton Bowl Classic still retained enough prestige that it was included as one of the top bowls in the <a href="/wiki/Bowl_Coalition" title="Bowl Coalition">Bowl Coalition</a> when it was formed in 1992. However, in 1995, the new <a href="/wiki/Bowl_Alliance" title="Bowl Alliance">Bowl Alliance</a> (the predecessor of the BCS) chose to include the Fiesta over the Cotton in its rotation. While it was still capable of landing Top 10 teams, it was no longer in a position to decide the national championship. In 18 of the 21 seasons since 1995, the Cotton Bowl has featured two ranked opponents. In the other three seasons, one of the teams was ranked (2002, 2003, and 2010). </p><p>In 1995, the SWC gave up control of the Cotton Bowl Classic as part of its planned dissolution after the season. From 1999 to 2014, the Cotton Bowl Classic had the second pick from the Big 12 after the <a href="/wiki/Bowl_Alliance" title="Bowl Alliance">Bowl Alliance</a> and its successor, the <a href="/wiki/Bowl_Championship_Series" title="Bowl Championship Series">Bowl Championship Series</a>–usually the championship game loser or a division runner-up. </p><p>From 1996 to 1998, the other participant was either the champion of the <a href="/wiki/Western_Athletic_Conference" title="Western Athletic Conference">Western Athletic Conference</a> or the runner-up of the <a href="/wiki/Pac-10_Conference" class="mw-redirect" title="Pac-10 Conference">Pac-10 Conference</a>.
