You must also consider that in the 40's and 50's, Oklahoma limited itself
to one bowl game every two years.
Another injustice is that Texas is above OU because they LOST more games.
What exactly are these ratings meant to show? Most bowls attended?

Most bowls attended? The idea is to get as good an approximation as one can of a team's football program through the century by looking at bowl performances. A team which loses in a bowl is presumably superior to one which is not even invited. It is when a team's invitation or lack thereof is not based on how good it is that you get injustices. If OU turned down potential bowl bids because they had been in one recently, this would indeed be an example of such.
