At Ole Miss, resurgence comes as division rises

At Ole Miss, resurgence comes as division rises

Nearly a third of the way into the college football season, this much is clear: The axis of power has shifted southeast. Last year, the Big 12 Conference’s South Division was the nation’s strongest with three teams ranked in the top five for two weeks in November. This week, the Southeastern Conference’s West Division has three teams in the top seven: No. 3 Alabama, No. 5 Mississippi and No. 7 LSU.
At this point, could the SEC West be the best conference in college football?

“I think there’s certainly an argument” for that, LSU coach Les Miles said. “Nationally, I don’t know if there’s a division or conference as competitive as this one.”
