Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas, and the recently added A&M.
Since expansion only once has any of those teams managed to go 3-0 against the "big 3" of the West (Alabama, Auburn, LSU).
It was Arkansas in 1998 and they managed to somehow not win the division, losing the tiebreaker to Mississippi State.

US C accomplished in 10 and 11 against the East big 3.

That really is unusual. Up vote your way.

Not too surprising...when was the last time both AU and Bama sucked in the same year?

Missouri did it last year too. Goes to show you how badly the East has fallen off that it's happened 3 times to them just recently.

Bama was 6-5, Auburn was 5-6 and LSU was 4-7 that year. The Big Three in 1998 was still Auburn, Alabama and Arkansas.
LSU replaced Arkansas circa 2000, which produced an oddity that may never be repeated.
Mississippi State defeated both SEC Championship participants (Florida and Auburn) without making the championship game.

Of course we beat everyone in the West but LSU in 2003, which would have easily gotten us to Atlanta any other year.

Y'all got that sweet banner out of it, though.

Those last two games (UT and Miss. State) probably kept Arky from playing for the national championship.

This was in 2000, and ya that certainly is odd that MSU beat the two division winners, considering they finished the regular season 7-4.

Yeah Stoerner most likely gagged away a national title shot in bizarre fashion.
They lost to MSU the very next week 22-21, almost certainly still very deflated from the week before. Definitely one of those "let the same game beat you twice" situations.
Had they beat UT they likely crush MSU and roll undefeated into a rematch with UT in the SEC title game.
Who knows how that would have played out, ifs and butts.
