'Twas a simpler time back then.
Conference foes battled for the ultimate prize of a venture to the big bowl bid of choice.
Rose was the darling of the Pac 10/Big10.
Cotton was the old SWC
Sugar was the SEC champ
Orange was reserved for the B8 champ
Regional wins and superiority were the game, and many games oranges tossed on the field of a Nebraska/Oklahoma game.
Win your conference was the goal every year. Everything else was gravy.
The Big4 bowl games on January 1st every year were all the rage.
