Alternatively, if we won it would presumably show progress, but it wouldn't generate excitement on the level as would a win over Bama/UGA/LSU/A&M
The scale of excitement for me for when we beat each opponent ranked in order:
1. Bama
2. Georgia
—- Big gap—-
3. LSU
—- Big gap—-
4. Florida
5. Texas A&M
6. Tennessee
7. Arkansas
8. Ole Miss
— Big gap—-
Everyone else
This is also a ranking of how frenzied Jordan-Hare gets in terms of noise yet somehow Ole Miss has struggled there.

Yeah that's about right.
A few years ago our signature win was a win over a ranked (I think) Ole Miss and it was pretty lackluster. Not trying to be rude, it's just the state of modern CFB.
When I was a kid I felt like any SEC game was a fairly big deal, but now I think for most teams it's rivals+highly ranked/historic programs and everything else is just trying to get the win and move on. I preferred it when it felt like Auburn-Ole Miss or Auburn-MSU was a game with more pageantry, but maybe it had more to do with being a kid than it did the era.
