3 different poll-services declared Ole Miss national Champions in 1959 and 1 poll-service declared Ole Miss national champs in 1962, would have been consensus had it not been for the integration fiasco, our luck I guess.
Keep in mind until the late 60's there were a myriad of polling services out there, which is why the Alabamas, Notre Dames and Oklahomas of the world can claim so many.
the 1959 team has the highest Sagarin rating of any SEC team. Only 1971/1995 Nebraska graded higher

But after 1950, the AP, UPI, and to a lesser extent the FWAA were the only three that teams really cared about.

Syracuse got all 4 (AP, Coaches, FWAA, NFF) in 59; so did USC in 62. Bama/ND/OU only claim those after 1950.
