And I'm fairly certain these are not essential:

Air Force/Wyoming (1980)
Auburn/Mississippi State (1955)
Ball State/Central Michigan (1977)
Ball State/Eastern Michigan (1973)
Ball State/Toledo (1975)
Central Michigan/Toledo (1975)
Clemson/Wake Forest (1953)
Eastern Michigan/Toledo (1977)
Florida/Kentucky (1967)
Georgia/Kentucky (1956)
Georgia Tech/North Carolina (1980)
Georgia Tech/Virginia (1982)
Iowa State/Kansas (1932)
Kent State/Miami-OH (1955)
Kent State/Ohio (1949)
Toledo/Western Michigan (1950)

One of the driving forces of the old 16 team WAC breaking up was Air Force being forced into a quad that did not include CSU and WYo and was mostly texas teams. Those games are considered very important and critical to all three teams and Air Force wanted no part of losing games with CSU and WYo.

Interesting -- I knew that Air Force objected to being separated from CSU, but I didn't think there was anything strong between AFA and Wyoming, despite how many times they played. I've added AFA/Wyo as an option in the third poll: http://csnbbs.com/thread-829328.html
