I'm not flaming, Trolling or baiting. I strongly believe you can look at a program overall health in Sets of 4 obviously reflection of recruiting classes and on the field wins.

Miles is an Excellent Coach, no one will argue that if LSU is eliminated in November as an Playoff contender it will be 2015 again. Freeze seems to have backing and full support of Alumni/Trustees.

Ole Miss has pulled even with LSU recruiting wise. Despite having less than 50% of the talent in state compared to LSU. That means their footprint is being recognized on a national level now.

What I seen and heard from LSU friends it seems to be an All in type of year for you Guys. If this year is an 11/12 win total season is that good enough for you guys?

Ole Miss needs to win the West at some point.

They have won some big games, but until they win the west and SECCG I will still say that LSU is "surpassing" them.

No... Ole Miss hasnt surpassed LSU.


We beat the shite out of them on our home field this season but like the other poster said, until the Rebels get over the hump and make it to ATL we cant even have this conversation.

LSU:
Last national title, 2007
Last SEC title, 2011
Last losing season, 1999

Now so the same for Ole miss and see if that answers your question.

Ole Miss is going to have to win the SEC at least once before they've surpassed anyone

Wouldn't that mean that Ole Miss has to be the best team in Mississippi 1st?

Honest question.

Ole Miss's biggest football accomplishment is beating Alabama in the regular season. So, no.

They have potential but every year they have letdowns like at Florida and at Memphis. Beating Bama is a big deal, however. Bama doesn't lose much.

Ole Miss definitely beat the crap out of us this year, but most of us weren't even mad because we thought les was packing his bags and soon to be ousted, especially after that display.

If they ever make it to ATL and win a championship, then we can have the conversation again.

Listing historical wins and accomplishments is pointless, as the question was aimed at the current state of the program. Ole Miss has for the first time in my lifetime established themselves as a long term threat and becoming a national program. The 2016 season and schedule will be tough, even with a proven quarterback. I think our offense and quarterback play will keep us competitive, and possibly in the hunt. I'd say we are currently neck and neck with LSU for a strong second in the West. To say we have surpassed LSU will take a trip and win in Atlanta, with our best shot being the 17-18 campaigns. That also assumes LSU stays on their current path and doesn't improve, which I'm not hopeful for. Les is still bringing in talent, and has what it takes to make a run for it as soon as this season. All he needs is a serviceable quarterback and a some changes to the offense. As stubborn as he might be, I think he opens it up some this year. Not sure if it works, but I think he will.

So no, we have not surpassed LSU, but I truly believe we are tied with them right now. If Les has another mediocre year or two and proves he doesn't have what it takes and we win the SEC, then we can rehash this topic. I honestly think our best chance to jump them as a program will be Les getting fired and we pull ahead as LSU transitions with a new coach...or he just continues to underachieve and stays on board while our projection continues upward.

Cliff Notes for the hungover: No. We have to win something first, and LSU has to not improve. Right now we're tied, and most likely will stay that was for the foreseeable future with both programs capable of making a run for it all the next few years.

LSU doesn't lose to programs like Memphis and Jacksonville State University in its modern history.


That should answer your question.
