This is when they set in the 6 game minimum for conference games. There were 6 games against the ACC that were "conference" games, 1 against the Missouri Valley, 8 against independents (1 Miami, 7 Tulane, ironically, it was Tulane that had Miami as the "conference" opponent), and 3 against Southwest teams.
So LSU and Ole Miss got to count their games against Arkansas and TAMU as conference games under that set up?

68 is a good example. LSU only played 4 SEC teams but had a 4-2 SEC record (page 134 of the media guide).
Edit: Do NOT use Wiki for this btw, use the media guide.

Prior to the SEC, the SEC would establish which "non-conference" games would count as conference games. They were called "designated" or "wildcard" games. It's a common practice that still goes on.
LSU had Tulane designated at a "conference" game in 1966 and 1968 (obviously triggered by Tulane leaving the SEC) and TCU in 1968.
Ole Miss had Houston in 1958, and Arkansas in 1964.
