Sure are A LOT of Ole Miss threads popping up lately hinting at greatness..
So will Ole Miss actually sniff an SEC championship soon?
At least Arky & Mississippi STATE have made it to the CHAMPIONSHIP game..

I submit that I like the Ole Miss variety better.

Let the Rebels/Bears have a little fun. They won their Super Bowl this year, and will be playing a shitty opponent in their bowl game.

Let's analyze that fact, shall we?
Here are the records for those divisional champions you refer to:
(rankings as of SECCG they played in not final ranking for season)
1995: #23 Arkansas
Finished the season 8-5 with a loss in the Carquest Bowl
Blown out 34-3 in the SECCG
Obviously the West was horrible that year... not a single West team finished in the top 20.
1998: #23 Miss State
Finished 8-5 with a beatdown by Texas in the Cotton Bowl. Only lost to #1 Tennessee by a 24-14 count (not too shabby -- moral victory!). Rest of West was horrible that year. #16 Arkansas was the only ranked team in the West at the end of the year.
2002: #22 Arkansas
Finished the season at 9-5 with an embarassing loss to Minnesota in the Music City Bowl. Got torched by UGA in the SECCG. Bama (who Arkansas got torched by) would have been divisional champ but they were on probation.
2006: #8 Arkansas
Finally a divisional champ who didn't completely blow. They entered the SECCG with only one conference loss. Finished year with a 3 game losing streak but they kept each game within 10 points (moral victory!). Finished season 9-4.
But as you said... each of those teams "made" the championship game. Never mind the 4 losses (minimum) each team finished the season with. Clearly superior to the Ole Miss 2003 divisional co-champ team at 10-3 and 7-1 in conference.
:tldr:

We're not there.... Yet.
If Freeze can take the worst team I've ever seen in Ole Miss history to a bowl game in less than 12 months, why not believe once he gets a couple recruiting classes under his belt that we can build a consistent program that can compete against the rest of the SEC?
I can guarantee you in year four of the Freeze era we won't be blown out by 31 versus Bama and run off the field against our rival to end the year.
