    tesa8034 may be basing his modest penalty ceiling on the precedent of other modern day teams that have cheated in the manner Ole Miss has.... Wait, sorry THERE AREN'T ANY!

    In any case, the key here here would be finding OM systematically provided paid sex encounters for recruits by the top of the OM athletic administration. As a repeat offense, that is easily death penalty material.

    Mullen has won 5 Egg Bowls. The 3 losses will be vacated due to NCAA violations. We can't count those 3 as wins but the cheaters can't either - so they're vacated. So we're already at 5. We win the next 5, maybe the next 7. I'll say in total, 10 in a row.

    Last legit UM win: 2008 (45-0, over Croom).
    Next game that UM should have a chance: 2022

    Questions like this will always lead to highly speculative answers....it's really hard to forecast the college football landscape for even the upcoming season for most teams, let alone 3 or 4 years down the road.

    That being said, I think a reasonable expectation would be something like 4 in a row. 2016 is in the bag. 2017 we get them in Starkville with an interim head coach and around 1 month removed from the NCAA announcing sanctions. That should be guaranteed, no excuses. 2018 is back in Oxford against a depleted roster (possibly Shea and others transfer before the 2018 season after sanctions are announced), and that is shaping up to be a strong roster for us. We should win 2018. 2019 returns to Starkville, and we will hopefully have a trend of 3 straight strong recruiting classes aided by OM having reduced class size and, if they are smart, less cheating. That's the diciest to predict this far out, but right now why not give the home team the nod? Anything past that point is a coin flip. Too much could happen either way to either team to make an accurate assessment.

    Go look at the matrix compared to which infractions they are charged with. Someone here did a write up with what the penalties would be strictly by the matrix. It would be MUCH worse than a 2 year bowl ban, however the NCAA will give them a dumb-downed version because there's such a high volume of infractions.

    If we can win the next two it could get to 8 straight with some lopsided scores along the way.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but even if OM has to vacate the wins, we do not get to vacate the losses. O/U for me would be 4, something crazy will happen like a field goal stopping in mid air and going backwards or something.
