Personally, I think they CAN be a beast of a program - Texas has gobs of cash, influence, and their own TV network. They are a sleeping giant imo.

At the same time, it isn't always easy to wake a sleeping giant. Money isnt everything...are you guys even spending as much as Ole Miss this year?? Because there will almost always be an Ole Miss out there pushing in all the chips.

And with the playoffs, you're going to have to beat 2-3 UGAs, OSUs, Bamas to win a Title from here on out. It took Kirby 5 years of stacking & building an elite program before he finally broke through to the promised land. It's either that, or have a generational group a la Burrow and his stud receivers AND the right coaching staff.

Totally agree. Sure we have money but it's not like we're willing to spend 10x more than everyone else.

I'm eager to see how Ole Miss does this year. I think the conventional wisdom is that a team with significant elite portal talent generally won't beat teams comprised mostly of elite recruits developed out of high school. But Ole Miss has a chance to buck that thinking.

Luckily we don't play them.
