The Alamo Bowl is a college football bowl game played annually
since 1993 in the 65,000-seat Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. It
matches the second choice team from the Pacific-12 Conference and
the third choice team from the Big 12 Conference. The game
originally gave an automatic invite to a team from the now-defunct
Southwest Conference (SWC). However, in 1993, only two of the eight
SWC teams finished with the necessary 6 wins to become
bowl-eligible. The Alamo Bowl invited the Iowa Hawkeyes instead.
The SWC was able to provide participants for the next two seasons
(Baylor and Texas A&M) before the conference disbanded. On
August 28, 2009, the Alamo Bowl organizers announced they had
reached an agreement with the then-Pac-10 Conference to replace the
Big Ten in the Alamo Bowl.
