Well, the # of Bowl games and eligibility has changed significantly, so I'm not sure how relevant that data point really is, especially for the 90s and 50s comparisons.

The Rose Bowl was the only major college bowl game in 1930. By 1940, there were five major college bowl games: the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl (1935), the Cotton Bowl Classic (1937), the Orange Bowl (1935), and the Sun Bowl (1935). By 1950, the number had increased to eight games. This figure of eight bowl games persisted through 1960, but by 1970 the number had increased again, to 11 games. The number continued to increase, to 15 games in 1980, to 19 games in 1990, 25 games in 2000, 35 games in 2010, and 41 games by 2015 (40 games plus two teams playing a second game to determine the National Champion).

Not to mention the conference championship games and playoff games where you are certain to add a couple more games against bowl teams.

I guess you missed this post above?

There were but as Fiutak notes, Oklahoma’s repeat holds the dubious honor of only facing 4 teams in 2 years that finished with a winning record (including only 1 team in 1955 that had more than 4 wins)
