The Big Ten conference was also established nearly 40 years before the Southeastern Conference. The SEC was only 30 years old in the 60s. Maybe that had something to do with it?
Gawd, man, that's stubborn.
Because a Big Ten championship meant Pasadena. It meant something, so people planned for it.

Not necessarily. The Big 10 had a "no-peat" rule until 1972. Meaning, if you won the Big 10 one year and then again, the second place team would go. Oh, and you would stay home and not go to a bowl as in the Big 10 you either played in the Rose Bowl or you couldn't go to another bowl until after the 1975 season.
