SEC team with biggest inferiority complex?

Another thread got me to thinking... what team's fanbase in our conference has the BIGGEST inferiority complex?
I would probably argue Auburn for an absolute multitude of reasons... but then you got Ole Miss, you got Arkansas that needs to prove themselves to the SEC with an SECCG win, you got USCe, you got UGA.... ALL these teams need/want desperately to make some serious championship noise.
I think the only ones that can be excluded from this conversation are LSU, Bama, UF and UT. (UT only gets excluded because they have a -serious- history. but they're definitely desperate right now)

But I don't think our fan base comes off as having an inferiority complex about it.

Ole Miss
ETA: Arkansas has been to Atlanta and has made the SEC Championship game...they've even gone to Omaha on several occasions. They also have a national title in basketball and a runner up finish. Although Auburn hasn't won a national title in the Big 3, they have won SEC Championships and have two undefeated seasons in football the last 20 years.
But Ole Miss has yet to make Atlanta and hasn't made it to Omaha in decades. Mississippi State has done both and even has made it to the final four in the last 15 years. Everytime it looks like Ole Miss has a team that can make a run--regardless of the sport, they falter. But their fans keep believing it's their year. So if anyone has an inferiority complex, I would think it would be Ole Miss.

Tennessee is quickly approaching that.

Paging Tiger in Cuba. 
Seriously though, the only two correct answers to this can be Auburn or Ole Miss.

None of this describes an inferiority complex.

Do you?
My vote goes to Mississippi State which essentially constantly does what it can to one-up Ole Miss. It's almost sad and entirely annoying.

Yet you guys always believe you are on par with the rest of the SEC and you want to prove it--but you never do. The other teams have. Just my 2 cents.

I think if anything Arkansas fans on this site have the opposite problem. Most of our fans view our program as being much better than it actually is.
