After todays announcement of the Peach Bowl matchup between ole miss and penn state, I began to think of recent bowl games.
Within the last ten seasons:
2014: 9-3 (Peach Bowl NY6)
2015: 9-3 (Sugar Bowl NY6)
2016: 5-7 (Sanctions and Bowl Ban)
2017: 6-6 (Sanctions and Bowl Ban)
2018: 5-7 (Sanctions and Bowl Ban)
2019: 4-8 (No bowl ban but coming off sanctions.)
2020: 4-5 (Outback Bowl)
2021: 10-2 (Sugar Bowl NY6)
2022: 8-4 (Texas Bowl)
2023: 10-2 (Peach Bowl)
4 NY6 bowls in the last 6 ole miss football seasons when not under sanctions. Pretty good. While it’s chaotic, I believe the transfer portal and NIL will be very good to ole miss during this next phase of college football.
Buckle up. Playoffs are around the corner.
