The last time Ole Miss had a valid argument for being in the Big Six was 1963. The reason the Big Six is the Big Six is because those six teams have won every conference & national championship in the SEC since 1963.
In fact, since the SEC was founded in 1933, there have been only twelve seasons….
1941 Miss State
1943 Ga Tech
1944 Ga Tech
1947 Ole Miss
1949 Tulane
1950 Kentucky
1952 Ga Tech
1954 Ole Miss
1955 Ole Miss
1960 Ole Miss
1962 Ole Miss
1963 Ole Miss
….that one of the Big Six wasn’t at least a co-SEC champion. As you can see Ole Miss was one of the top programs in the 50s to early 60s, but they haven’t been relevant since.

For starters, when competition was inclusive of all races.
Also it's not just automatic that if you win an SEC championship you are full standing member. You are in a probationary period. The Big Six schools have tradition and backing that ensure they be back again and again. See contrast with Tenn. / Texas AM this year. That's just the way it is.
