om coming in at #8 in the country this week. What is the highest ranked om team to come to Davis Wade? Other than Bama, what were the highest ranked teams to come to Davis Wade in the modern era and lose? I think LSU was #4 in the first night game at the stadium in a John Bond frigid classic. Dogs beat Jim Kelly and Miami canes in a heart stopper. Thoughts?

This would be the highest ranked OM team to come to DW in the modern era. They also finished 8th when Archie Manning was a Jr. (pretty sure that game was in Jackson). Now if you go back to the Vaught years then they were rated in the top ten fairly often.
Jim Kelly and Miami lost but don’t remember the rank or year. Just an incredible game, Cooks on defense was a monster.

Looks like the highest ranked Ole Miss team to ever play at Scott Field was #2 in 1959.
The highest ranked OM team to lose was #11 in 1940.
We did Tie #3 Ole Miss in 1963 - so we've got that going for us....
The Miami game was 1981, which saw #16 MSU beat #13 Miami.
wasn't that a tie with a #2 ranked Steve Spurrier lead Florida Team ... can't remember the yearQuote:

NUMBER 4 TAMU came to dws and took a big ass L during Fitz last year.
That 2015 team was much better than their team this year, especially the defense. What's crazy is that Ole Miss averages 30.7 points a game and gives up 29 points a game in SEC play. You'd think an SEC team with as little difference between their offensive output and points given up would have at best a 4-4 record in conference play. In comparison, we score 29.6 points/SEC game and give up 26.7.Quote:

I'm using the AP Poll for reference.
Some people need reading comprehension. The OP is only talking about Ole Miss being at their highest rank. Not the overall teams coming in ranked.
