Wow, I'm actually doing my job. Heck, let's take a look at the game. Singular...
#4 Ole Miss-10, South Carolina-16
Well, here we have another case AGAINST pre-season rankings. Sure, Ole Miss had the nations second-longest winning streak during their meteoric rise to #4, but they didn't beat anyone who was overwhelmingly good during that time period.
Please don't get me wrong, the victory over Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl showed just how overrated the Big 12 was last year, but other than that Ole Miss didn't do that much. (Yes, I know they beat Florida in the Swamp last year. That was not, however, part of the 8 game win streak, so it doesn't count as part of the argument)
Mississippi is not a bad football team, they just weren't the 4th best football team in the country. Frankly, I would take most of the top 15 over them in a neutral sight game.
South Carolina, meanwhile looked good on defense and mediocre on offense. They kept Jevan Snead off his game for the entire game. Wow, that was a redundant sentence.
Oh, and Steve Spurrier is still a total jerk.
