It was a level playing field back then as well.
You know what was not level? Big 8 football schedules compared to SEC schedules. I used to study the history of college football and apparently back then Oklahoma and Nebraska were the only 2 Big 8 teams any good so it was basically a 1 game schedule for each.

Laughable horseshite. You obviously haven't "studied" a damn thing and your opinion of the SEC is slanted with recency bias. When I was growing up, "muh SEC" wasn't a thing and you never heard about them as a conference.
The media was mostly enamored with B10 and PAC during that time and then in the 90s, it was all about the ACC.

Thats BS
In the 1971 NCAA University Division football season, Big Eight teams finished ranked #1 (Nebraska), #2 (Oklahoma) and #3 (Colorado) in the nation in the AP Poll – the only time in college football history teams from one conference have held the top three spots in the final poll.
In the final AP Poll issued before the Big Eight became the Big 12, half of the conference's teams were ranked in the nation's top 10 (#1 Nebraska, #5 Colorado, #7 Kansas State, #9 Kansas).

Oh shite, "History"?
Some of us actually remember the Big 8 and didn't have to read about it in History books.

But you forgot that Oklahoma also played UTx OOC every year.
