So obviously it’s stupid in the first place, but usually teams that do this kind of have a basis for it (Like USC being ranked #1 in the AP. Still not really a good argument). But in 03 we only lost to Florida, an East team, while their loss was to us, a fellow West team. So how do they even have an argument to claim co-champs of the West? Like I said, it’s dumb and from 20 years ago but it just baffles me how retarded they are.

Because that’s the closest they have been to winning anything. It’s pathetic, let them be pathetic.

It’s like claiming your wife used to have a boyfriend with a bigger dick in college, and being proud of that.

Imagine how stupid the banners are going to be when the SEC schedule divides into six different pods and Ole Miss ends up in a rotation with Miss. St. and Vanderbilt.

Old Miss fans are so pompous that they truly become delusional regarding their football program and their university. Those idiots even try to claim their university is among the best in the nation. Ok, OLD Mississippi, we’ll just laugh with you.

Being ranked #1 is not a good argument?

Pretty sure LSU has trophies from similar scenarios as you are officially entitled to it. But they’re buried in some trophy room somewhere and not on prominent display.

They didn't play in the National Title game which had been decided on ahead of time as the standard to crown a champion

So yea, not a good argument.

The fact people feel so strongly one way or the other says it is a good argument, unfortunately.

As a previous poster said many teams would claim it too since they tied for it and lost the SECCG slot on the tiebreaker. To most teams it wouldnt stick out that much but when it is your only one it is like a big pimple on your nose. Also it is like kissing your sister but there is nothing wrong with that in Mississippi…

Because this is how the SEC looks at it. At the end of the season, if the SEC records are equal, they are considered co-division champions, and a tiebreaker is used only to determine which plays in the SEC championship game. So blame the SEC.
