Was the 6 D1A wins rule in effect then? It seems like going 4-3 in conference would of got us to a bowl
I don't believe 1AA wins counted toward bowl eligibility then. It was changed a year or two later that you could count a 1AA win every 3 or 4 years. Then when 12 game schedules came in the early 2000s, you could count one 1AA win yearly.
KU went 6-5 that year with no bowl and all 6 wins were D1; I guess that was back in the days before bowl tie-ins, especially the lower tier bowls.
KSU at 7-4 and KU at 6-5 had to been the highest point of football in the sunflower state
(obviously upstaged by 95)
