Actually it just shows that it doesn’t matter where you start… just how you end up. I will agree that scholarships and low tuition help attract out of state students, but so does most SEC schools. Since Ole Miss seems to punch above its academic weight, maybe it’s the teachers and the education?
Like I said, I will put Anchorage up against any place in Georgia, anytime. I have been to Georgia many many times. Have you ever been to Alaska… any part of Alaska?

Speaking from ignorance is not the way to win arguments.
Sounds like you are a typical rustic hillbilly who is afraid to experience the real world.

*** I will put Anchorage Alaska up against any Georgia ?? hole (like Atlanta) anytime.
I know a lot of Texas freshmen who flunked out with the quickness when they got away from their parents… lots of kids from MSand others states as well. If I had gone straight to college from HS, I probably would have been one of them as well. I needed my 3 years of military to develop discipline.
Nice deflection… I didn’t claim there were NO UGA accountants…. I just said that I have never professionally interacted with one in any of the places I’ve lived. 37%….. y’all almost up there with Vanderbilt.
So just because you know a lot of UGA grad accountants that work in Atlanta, GA, the UGA program is better than Ole Miss? I mean that 37% acceptance rate…
I think each SEC school has disciplines they excel in. To have a d1ck measuring contest based on where someone started in life is really dumb. I’ll bet you know plenty of people who peaked in HS and sh!t the bed when they got to college…. No matter what their HS gpa and ACT/SAT scores were.
We have BDO up here in Alaska, work with them every year on our audit… sorry no UGA in 8 years of living here.
Atlanta, GA … ‘I know lots of UGA accountants that live and work there…??

I’ve lived in Mississippi, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Germany… haven’t met any UGA accountants in my 30+ years of professional accounting. I’ve met Florida, MS State, UT (both) and USC , but no Georgia accountants.
Just keep making my point to you… why such average and mediocre results when you set the bar so high for incoming freshmen?

So why are you bragging about mediocre results? Like I said, it’s not where you start but how you finish.
So, 8 not top 5… we’ve slipped a little. Here is a link to a professional accounting journal. I see Texas, Texas A&M, Missouri, Florida… and Georgia at 27???!!!

In thirty years of accounting (public and private) I have yet to run across a University of Georgia accountant. Ole Miss has a top 5 public school accounting programs… Georgia???
And yet Ole Miss shares the lead of most Rhodes Scholars in the SEC with Vanderbilt and Georgia at 27. Does that mean that the University actually educates its students when they get there, rather than worry about where they began? Talk about bang for your buck…
By almost every metric that parents with kids use, Oxford beats the hell out of Gainesville and most other university towns in the SEC. If you are looking at athletics, education, safety, and affordability, Oxford is the place to raise your children. Oxford School District has averaged 10 National Merit Semifinalists a year for the past 18 years.
OM 14-2 play for the national championship. Lack of quality depth finally catches up.
Top 10 teams don’t lose 3 games. If the CFP had allowed Alabama, Ole Miss or South Carolina, then they would have diluted the game.

Right now I think the SEC is in a similar situation as the Big 10 was back in 2006-2008. I remember seeing so many Big 10 posts bragging about the strength of their conference and how a 2 loss LSU was going to get embarrassed. I also remembered seeing the SEC dominate the bowl season with many of the top SEC teams saying that they played tougher games in conference. That was where the conference pride thing really took off. The SEC teams knew they were already facing the best teams in conference and proved it in the bowl games afterwards.

We just need for our three representatives to prove the SEC deserves those three in the national playoffs, and our bowl game representatives to prove their status on the football fields. That is how you shut down the other conference fans. They can no-longer claim it’s mysterious bagmen and cheating boosters.
It gives the coaches a chance to evaluate bench talent against real game competition. Maybe a practice’warrior’ doesn’t look so hot under game lights, and maybe a practice dud looks like a star when the game film is rolling.
You are assuming that your current 6 teams ranked in the top (31??? lol) will stay ranked after playoffs and bowl season. You know what they say about when you assUME? There are still a few games waiting for teams that have high draft players who might sit out rather than risk injuries, or a coach who ( for whatever reason), sucks in post season, or key players who might get injured in practice or in the game. I still say your analysis is flawed because you are trying to compare end of season rankings to OUs season in process.

I already showed you 6 ranked (top 25) sec teams that Ole Miss played, plus a 4th ranked FSU game in the kickoff classic in the 2016 season. OUs schedule this season, while brutal, is not different than any other’s teams experience in the SEC.
