Ole Miss has nowhere near the advantages Georgia does.

Because that would acknowledge a "championship" that doesn't exist. Neither the AP or the UPI awarded Ole Miss the '62 title. Claiming it is a joke.

Well there goes your ‘42 claim.

MISSISSIPPI SCHOOLS>>>TAMU

Here is your true Aggy story no one in true state of mind can justify.

"As regular readers might recall, A&M decided at some point in the offseason to make some additions to its "Wall of Champions," which suddenly boasts a pair of national championships (from 1919 and 1927) that the school had never claimed before, as well as two new conference championships from 1997 and 2010. The latter struck some observers as especially odd, because most of them can actually remember the 1997 and 2010 seasons, and the fact that Texas A&M didn't win the Big 12 in either one of them: the '97 Aggies won the South Division but were crushed in the Big 12 Championship Game by the eventual national champion, Nebraska. The 2010 Aggies didn't even play for the title after finishing in a three-way tie for first place in the division.

A&M's only legitimate claim to a conference crown in the Big 12 era came in 1998, when it won the South and upset No. 1 Kansas State in the championship game.

In response to the ridicule that followed, the university has now appended the words "South Division" below the '97 and '10 claims on the wall to signal to passersby that they don't actually count and should be ignored. A fan who noticed the change during Saturday's game against Texas Southern sent in photos of the fine print to the website Deadspin."

Though 1980 was a long time ago at least the game has some semblance to today's game. Integration was already fully implemented one of the big landmarks of the sport. At least UGA has been a player and was just a play away recently, though certainly they should have at least one more.

I think 1962 is not an issue because Ole Miss fans aren't pumping their chests here saying they are some kind of sleeping giant.

1939 is just laughable. That was a different sport for all intents and purposes and A&M fans just flat out lie about what their program is. They make up Championships amongst other falsehoods. They have one top 5 finish in 60 years and talk like they are important. They practically beg to be ridiculed.
