A bowl game appearance in 1955 is worth far more than a bowl game appearance in 2015, when teams with 5-7 records are going to bowl games every year.

agree to an extent. Bowl games back then were also completely geared towards money. Teams that didn't necessarily earn good bowls would still get bids because they'd generate more revenue. Bowl games didn't even determine the national titles back then, so they were purely exhibition games. But I do agree with your point. It was much more difficult to make bowl games back then
