Every year is different. Until last year, Miles hadn't had an undefeated regular season. The year before, Auburn won a BCS trophy... You just never know... but it's silly to say that Ole Miss wouldn't because of their past history.

Bingo. I could say State will never win a National Championship because they have never done it before.

Right so don't look to past results between State and Bama to determine this years outcome

Miles has only been a head coach for 10 years before that. Nowhere near the same sample size(also a much more difficult accomplishment).

I'm saying that over the past 50 years, Ole Miss has had many schedules that were easier than our current one, and they've failed to get it done. What is to say that would change this year? To say that they would have "likely" done so is ignoring 50 years of data that says otherwise. It's tantamount to Mississippi State fans claiming they would "likely" win the SEC, because we did once in 70 years ago...All the data at hand says it is quite the opposite - very unlikely.
