Was this posted before? Where?
But by those standards, is there that huge a difference between Ole Miss and State, particularly when you look at strong groups on both campuses?
I know Ole Miss has a strong reputation for being old south and exclusive, but I'm not sure the reality of who is really going there matches up with outside expectation.
State is a little redneck to be sure, but if you look at kind of a who's who for Mississippi, State grads are pretty well represented.
Reputation definitely counts for something, and on that alone I understand why Ole Miss is higher, but one of the top two or three while State is at the bottom seems odd if you're looking at anything objective, particularly when Auburn is solidly in the middle.
ETA: I've had relatives go to State and I can say that being Greek seemed far more important to being influential on campus at State than it did at Georgia.
