When USM was in the Metro with Florida State, South Carolina, Louisville, et. al, they were in a major conference and recruited well.
From 1988-1990, Southern Miss beat Florida State, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Virginia Tech.
Even as late as 1996, Southern Miss had a schedule that had Alabama, Florida, Illinois and Tennessee and went 9-3.
Conference expansion killed Southern Miss as a decent program. They were left out in three conference expansions that they had a chance to move in. Now, they aren't even on the radar.

Even more amazing is that back in the day USM had as large or a larger enrollment than Ole Miss or MSU. Now it isn't even close to the size of the other two schools.
