I didn't realize how weak all three were, but after seeing some posts about it on here, felt the need to go deeper and just put it out there.
First off, OM has never finished a season ranked #1 in either the AP or Coaches Poll.
Now to each season:
1959: 10-1, finished #2 in both polls. We all know about this season, Halloween night forever haunts OM, yet a natty still claimed by OM. They beat three ranked teams (one being LSU in the Sugar Bowl). AP/Coaches champ was Syracuse.
1960: 10-0-1, finished #2AP and #2Coaches. Most LSU fans know, but maybe not the younger generation. The tie was to LSU in Oxford, so again, we deny them a natty. They beat two ranked teams. AP/Coaches champ was Minnesota.
1962: 10-0, yet finished #3 in both polls. Beat two ranked teams. The only undefeated and untied season in Ole Miss history. AP/Coaches champ was USC.

We're not claiming fake natties.

At least put out some more facts.
Minnesota finished 8-2 with losses to a 4-4 Purdue team and the Pac 10 champ Washington in the Rose Bowl.
Ole Miss finished 10-0-1 with a lone tie to 5-4-1 LSU.
Ole Miss was the only team in the country without a loss and Minnesota had two. Ole Miss started the season ranked #2 and Minnesota was unranked.
National championships were awarded before bowl games back then, from what I understand.

Serious question, what happened in 1962?
Just based on the era, I'm assuming this was one of those "the South is evil" deals?
