It’s worth noting that classifying certain bowl games as “premiere" before the BCS era are a bit subjective. Some bowls were big in specific years, but not others (notably the Citrus Bowl in the late 80’s / early 90’s).
I am using years of the season, not the actual date, as most of these bowl games were played within the first days of the following calendar year.
