In its 120-year history, the Ole Miss football pro- gram has claimed three national championships (1959, 1960 and 1962), six Southeastern Conference titles (1947, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962, and 1963), and one SEC Western Division title (2003). In addition, Ole Miss has produced 54 first-team All-America selections and 162 First Team All-SEC selections, appeared in 34 bowl games with 22 wins, and sent almost 300 players into the professional ranks.
