I think it is safe to say that the Ole Miss victory over Alabama was a bit of a fluke.

Nah, the 2015 win was a bit of a fluke as it took 5 turnovers from Alabama and a crazy tipped pass that turned into a 60yd td play for Ole Miss.

In 2014 it was just a really close game where OM intercepted a late pass in the endzone to prevent Alabama from scoring to tie and take the lead with the extra point. Even one of Alabama's tds came from a fumble recovery. Good Bo showed up that day and threw for 251 and 3 tds.

Ole Miss ran into a buzzsaw against TCU. Also, OM was not the same team they were when they played Alabama, after losing Laquon Treadwell for the year in the Auburn game.

ETA: The OM defense was very solid that year. Through the first 8 games of the season they were giving up 10.5 pts a game. Even after giving up 35 to Aub (this game hurt a lot..think it set the tone for the rest of the year as Treadwell got hurt as he was about to cross the goal line while fumbling into the endzone and lost 35-31), 30 to Ark, and 42 to TCU they were still only giving up 16 pts a game for the full season.
