They have never finished #1 in a major poll.

Meh. I'm not going to give them shite about it after one of ours. It is a little odd though I guess.

Ole Miss' most legit claim is 1960. Ole Miss' 1960 national title is deemed legitimate by the NCAA fwiw, as they finished #1 in the Football Writers Association of America poll, which is recognized by the NCAA. They finished 9-0-1 but Minnesota finished #1 in the AP and UPI polls by going 8-1. That's kinda messed up. Then Ole Miss won their bowl game and Minnesota lost making the records looks even more different at 10-0-1 and 8-2.
Ole Miss claiming 1959 or 1962 is bullshite. They have absolutely no right to those, unlike the case they can make for 1960.
Let's be clear that Ole Miss did come in #1 in at least one poll in 59, 60, and 62, but 1960 is the only one they came in #1 in a poll the NCAA recognizes in their record books.

So yes, they have, in 1960.
The polls the NCAA recognizes that season's national champion or champions in are the AP poll, the Coaches poll (UPI), the Football Writers Association of America poll, and the National Football Foundation poll.
Ole Miss finished #1 in the Football Writers Association of America poll in 1960.
