Fox Sports calls Ole Miss one of college football's all-time underachievers
Ranking college football’s top 5 underachieving programs of all-time in this week’s mailbag, Fox Sports analyst Stewart Mandel didn’t skip over the SEC.
Topping the list is UCLA, who Mandel says despite being in the nation’s second-largest city, has very little football championship hardware to show it.
Also included in his dubious distinction is Ole Miss, a program that pales in comparison to its bordering SEC rivals. The Rebels have claimed three national titles all-time, the last coming in 1962 — one year prior to their most recent conference championship.
Mandel on Ole Miss:
3) Ole Miss. Located in the heart of the most football-crazy region of the country, famous for off-field traditions like the Grove, the Rebels’ glory years consist of basically one brief period in the late ’50s and early ’60s. I don’t necessarily expect Ole Miss to be Alabama, but it’s crazy that the disparity between the two is as steep as the Tide’s 50-10-2 all-time record.
What say you Rebels fans? Has the program underachieved over the last half-century?
