Its the drama of a possible Cotton Bowl showdown with Texas v. the prestige and cash of the Orange Bowl. Like Nebraska last week, the Irish will have to make a choice. And the Notre Dame name is such that the Irish may get a choice even if they lose.

Last year, you may recall, Notre Dame was No. 9 in the nation and Texas No. I heading into their Cotton Bowl contest. The Irish moved up to No. 5 in the Associated Press poU after their 21-17 loss to Texas.

The challenge to face the Longhorns again is an obvious one. But there are a couple of factors which tip the scales toward' the Orange Bowl, too. If Notre Dame were to whip LSU convincingly it might figure to be No. 1 again in the weekly wire service polls. And if already No.

1 they might opt for a change of scenery and extra dollars. Last year Notre Dame took home some $340,000 from the Cotton Bowl. The Orange Bowl paid $411,000 to each participant and bowl officials expect the payoff to be even bigger this year because of a more lucrative television contract. Was Moving on to other notes and quotes collected while wondering about the validity of the football polls. The UPI list this week shows Alabama (6-4) and Southern Cal tied for the No.

16 spot. They might look even on paper, but when they met back in September Southern Cal was a whopping 42-21 winner. Bowl folks may do some late scrambling for a second Big Eight team this week and from here it looks like Colorado might suddenly get attractive. The Buffs have an excellent chance to knock off Sugar Bowl-bound Air Force and finish at 6-1. Oklahoma assistant Barry Switzer allowed last Saturday that the Sooners would come to play when they visit Nebraska.

Tennessee, Mississippi and LSU have never played the Cornhuskers. Nebraska stands 5-7-1 in 13 games against Notre Dame. The award for the understatement of the week last week goes to Kansas State freshman coach Gene McDowell. may take three or four touchdowns to beat he said prior to the frosh contest. His team got four, but it ju.st tough enough as Nebraska put nine on the board.

Nebraska, with 261 points in Big Eight play, is just a louchdown away from cracking the seven-game scoring record of 266 points set last year by Missouri. It will take a little more to become the highest scoring team in conference hi.story, however. Oklahoma rolled up 292 points in six games hack in 1956 when the Big Eight was the Big Seven. Nebraska, averaging just over in five home games, ranks No. 5 in the nation in average home football attendance.

Ohio State. Michigan, Michigan State and Purdue rank ahead of the Cornhuskers. Other.s averaging over 60,000 are Wisconsin, Texas, Stanford, Notre Dame, LSU, Southern Cal, Auburn and Oklahoma, iVlid-Nebraska Honors Six Geneva Stanclouts To Sugar? New Orleans iTP) Eighth- ranked Tennessee will get a Sugar Bowl invitation if the Volunteers defeat Kentucky Saturday, a source close to the Sugar Bowl told The Associated Press Tuesday. Tenth-ranked Air Force accepted an invitation last Monday to fill the other half of the Jan. 1 schedule.

Tennessee, whose only setback was a 35-23 decision to powerful Auburn early in. the season, will have to play Vanderbilt and UCL.A after meeting Kentucky, but will be eligible to accept a bowl bid at 6 p.m. Saturday. In addition to the Tennessee- Kentucky game, the Sugar Bowl will have a representative at the Notre Dame-Louisiana State and Air Force-Colorado games. The Sugar Bowl source, who asked not to be identified, also said Saturday that sixth-ranked Arkansas and ninth-ranked Arizona State have been eliminated from consideration for the game here.

This would leave only top- ranked Texas, second-ranked Notre Dame and seventh- ranked LSU as possible Sugar Bowl participants since other teams in the Top Ten are already committed or are ineligible because of conference regulations.
