remember when we had a good team and didn't have to worry about counting D1AA wins?  was pretty cool.  Will the various bowl committees count "best 2-4 team in the country" as a win?

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 :tsc: (obviously upstaged by 95)

There were 18 bowl games in 1991 and still 18 in 1995.

By 2006 the number was 32, last year there were 35.
