The state of Mississippi still has ZERO national titles

:rotflmao:

I honestly feel bad for State fans. This was their year to get it in women’s bball

This is such a shitty thread

NCAA says we have 1960 in football. Try again

Thank God for Mississippi

frick you

Time for a history lesson -

The NCAA recognizes 1960, awarded to us by the Football Writers Association of America. For those of you who don't know who that is, the FWAA awarded the Grantland Rice Trophy to it's national champion from 1954-2013. It also selects the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year, the Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner, the Outland Trophy winner, a freshman All-America team, and weekly defensive player of the week, as well as developing scholarship programs and surveys for better working conditions.

Minnesota was awarded the national title BEFORE THE BOWL SEASON. Ole Miss proceeded to win their bowl game (Sugar Bowl against Rice), while Minnesota lost theirs (Rose Bowl vs. Washington), making Ole Miss the one and only undefeated team that season.

In fact, Minnesota finished that season 8-2, with losses coming in the Rose Bowl and against UNRANKED Purdue at home. Ole Miss was 10-0-1 that season, with Ole Miss' tie coming against LSU at home.

The football community, at large, recognizes the 1960 national championship since the title was awarded before the conclusion of the season. We would have undoubtedly been ranked #1 if the title was awarded at the proper time.

Put this argument to rest. We may not have been awarded the national title by the AP, but there plenty of teams who claim national titles that may have not been awarded them.

Therefore, Ole Miss HAS won a title in a sport.
