We know obviously the 1964 Cotton bowl would reach #1, so with 3 choices, what would be your top bowl wins?

You miss the boat.  A four team playoff is a championship.  A championship produces... a champion. You seem to be looking for the "best" team.  The "best" doesn't exist. Best does not equal champion.  Best is a myth.
Opinion polls produce... opinions.

Last night's will make this list because it's fresh (and shiny) and of course any bowl game that get's us a natty would have to be tops but the beatdown of ou in '78 was pure joy.

Haha I appreciate it.  I have every win from the 1978 Orange Bowl to last night.  Can't find the original broadcasts of any of the games before then.

75,77,2000.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

77 Orange Bowl will be no.1, not 64 Cotton Bowl.

You probably correct but the 64 Cotton Bowl SHOULD be No.1 since it climaxed an undefeated season and No. 1 ranking!

With three kids at William & Mary, I gotta go with the 1947 Bluebonnet Bowl. It's the only win I can hold over them -- they lead the series with us 2-1. That's up from last place in this poll 5 years ago.

I also selected the 65 Cotton Bowl, but at the time it wasn't that big a deal to me. I was five and the Razorbacks ALWAYS won. Of course we beat Nebraska.

1977-78 I was a freshman, so the Orange Bowls gets my third vote.

The first 2 bowls I remember were great ones—the '76 Cotton Bowl followed by the '78 Orange Bowl. That '75-'76 team is the first one where I knew every player, and it had lots of guys whose names are still known. And Holtz' first team, same thing, most of us could name a lot of those players. One of Arkansas' best teams ever.

The third one is kinda tough—and I'm just choosing between bowls in my football-watching lifetime. I went to 4 Cotton Bowl losses (so painful) and 2 wins (Texas in 2000 and K State in Cowboys Stadium). I will say, to no surprise, that Texas one was very sweet. That might have to be my Number 3.

Edit: I just saw Delta's list. Looks like we're in agreement.

I picked the top three vote getters - 77 Orange (OU), 00 Cotton (Texass), 14 Texas (Texass).

I've only been around for 5 and only the 2000 Texas Bowl really meant anything to me. Sure I was at the only other big bowl win, but after we got our drumming at LSU it just seemed like a ho hum let down game for me that we were supposed to win. Liberty, Texas, & Independence too low to matter although I would say I was more thrilled with this win than say the 2011. 2000 it had been 15 years since we won one and it was unexpected, although any win over Texas is big in my books.

1. 1964- obviously
2. 1978 - We were 21 point underdogs and smoked the #2 team in the country. Who those of us that have lived on the border, happen to have to deal with.  And though it's not considered a national championship, a 5 way tie and ending the season at 3 is pretty damn close.

I may have not been a round for these, but no my history and these are far and away 1 and 2.

I went with 64 because of the championship. 78 orange because of the surprise and last, I went with last night because I was there to see for myself the destruction of the steers.

75 Cotton Bowl - the national media had continually talked about Dooley's 'Junkyard Dogs' Defense and AR's offense had not seen anything like it.  The way AR manhandled UGA showed the Hogs had a great 'D' as well.

77 Orange Bowl - Sweet whipping OU and ruining their title hopes.

14 Texas Bowl - After the losing streak and the losing records, it is nice to be winning again.

Maybe... But we were the best team in the NCAA by the end of the season and were totally disrespected.  OU and Arkansas had identical records, each only losing close games to Texas.  Texas lost the Cotton Bowl and ... all OU had to do was beat us and they would be concensus NC'?   But if we won?   They didn't even consider it a possibility.   W. T . H???   That was the day that Arkansas exposed the polls for the nonsense they are.
