Ole Miss' schedules haved sucked arse about as bad as State's have. Your team played two FCS(I-AA) schools in 2009
The most embarrassing part of Mississippi States OOC scheduling is all the school like UAB, Troy, South Alabama, Memphis, UMass, etc that you guys travel to to play on the road.
Y'all are hardly the first P5 school to schedule a weak OOC slate to fluff to your record, but going on the road to those schools on such a regular basis is just sad.

Eh, traveling to Memphis is basically a home game for Ole Miss. It's by far the most expensive ticket of Memphis' season ticket package, yet Rebels still typically outnumber Tigers in the Liberty Bowl. Memphis is Mississippi's largest city and de facto capital after all (though Mississippi's heart is really in its second biggest city, New Orleans), and it's home to a ton of Rebels. I'd be pissed if we ever traveled to La. Tech/Monroe, but I loved it when we'd play Tulane in the Super Dome before they (re)built their stadium. The AAC is certainly a step up from the Fun Belt too, but they're also certainly not P5, even if they're capable of knocking out blue bloods (OU, FSU, etc.). If Tiger High ever gets invited to the XII (never...), it'd be really convenient to have them as a more or less permanent P5 OOC opponent.
Oh shite, State did play a ranked team OOC last year. The mighty Bulldogs of Samford were 20...in FCS
