Bama's 1979 schedule: Baylor was a big game, or supposed to be. They had two superstars. I was there. I watched Dwight Stevenson (sp?) just erase Mike Singletary all night long. 45-2, I believe.
Bear wasn't doing anything sneaky or super-smart with the SEC deal. Nobody cared much. If they'd cared, they would have copied. They didn't.
Conference championships were a big deal in the Pac 8, the SWC, the Big 8, and the Big 10 due to bowl tie-ins. SEC and ACC did not have direct tie-ins. I just checked 1970.
Every SWC team (Cotton): 7 conference games.
Ditto Pac 8 (Rose). Ditto Big 10 (Rose). Ditto Big 8 (Orange from 1968).
ACC: irregular, like the SEC. See? Simple.
