The attitude that Broyles inherited from John Barnhill was conference championships not national rankings was the main "goal". Bowl games were more a reward for a good regular season
The 4 non-conference games were money making home games. Oklahoma State was the Little Rock first game and Tulsa was Fayettevile opener.
Never going to get agreement to that from Oklahoma. Plus Bud Wilkinson raised buying players to an art form back in the late 40's and 50's.
The first home and home opener was USCw in the early 70's.
Edit: actually Stanford was before USC, IIRC.
