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.

Great times - their only blemish was a 6-6 tie they salvaged in Oxford against a young Tiger team that came into that game with four straight loses. Glad we could cost them a chance at the NC.

Now let's hear it from the Minnesota angle.

If you get this, then we get 41'.
