Oh, I didn't see the Cotton Bowl, but I agree there's talent at Ol' Miss. I'm just not sure that it was the talent acquired by Nutt that beat Florida in the swamp, and Texas Tech. All of his recruits are true freshmen this year. I don't see Ol' Miss competing with LSU for the SEC West long term.Ole Miss has aquired quite a few talented players. You had to notice that if you watched the Cotton Bowl, even if you are an Okie.

The reason Ole Miss has so many talented players is because Orgeron was/is a damn good recruiter. He's now on Tennessee's staff as assistant head coach and defensive line coach.Ole Miss has aquired quite a few talented players.

True, Nutt didn't recruit the majority of his starters this year, but he did fire those rednecks up! Hope you're right about Ole Miss not competing for the SEC West in the long term. I'd hate to see LSU get another arse kicking like the Rebels gave them this year, and in Baton Rouge at that!
Seems that way, doesn't it?...Schools west of the Mississippi, must beat number one to have a chance at #5.
That cajun can recruit, no doubt. I wish LSU would've brought him in on defense after this year's debacle.
They both seem to get a lot of love from the sports media, whether they deserve it or not.
That's how I feel. Now if USC starts losing 5-6 games a year, gets a national TV deal of their own and has former coaches with thpeech imepediments sing their praises all the time I may change my mind.I like USC just fine. They've got a great coach and a super recruiting area. I don't mind excellence. I do mind mediocrity camouflaged as excellence, by the press.
That's what you got from the bowl games so far? I thought just the opposite. Everyone pretty much agreed that the SEC was having a down year then a 6-6 Vandy team beats the ACC runner-up and Ole Miss takes out #7 Texas Tech from the Big XII South. Not to mention LSU embarrassing Georgia Tech. The only losses were by South Carolina to a hot Iowa team with the Doak Walker winner and Alabama to an undefeated Utah. Add in Kentucky beating the C-USA champs and Georgia beating Michigan State. I'm not sure how any of these games would suggest "getting exposed".
