So Freeze has exceeded expectations every year.
I know I know. It's not that hard when it's Ole Miss

LSU has certainly been overrated a lot lately, but 2012 should have some kind of asterisk. I think we started #1 in one poll and #3 in another, then Mathieu was kicked off the team shortly thereafter. We were still super talented that year, though. But he was by far our best player, and honestly kind of a generational player.

So where's the value in this type of analysis?
If a team isn't predicted to do anything for 5 years, and doesn't - except for one year where they finish top-5, they get a +20 ranking. Who cares? All it says is the pollsters got it wrong one year.
After all, how many times have I read on this board that they ought to 'do away with' pre-season polls because of how worthless they are?

Arkansas was ranked more times and higher than Ole Miss in this span.
