Few BCS conference schools take as much pride in their NFL alumni as Ole Miss fans do. While some schools will say “Player X was good when he was at school here”, Rebels fans openly cheer for the player who used to don red and blue on Saturdays in the Vaught. Here is a quick look at how the Ole Miss alumni played, compared to the rest of the SEC.
Ole Miss
Baltimore Ravens: OT Michael Oher
San Francisco 49ers: MLB Patrick Willis
Oher was the right tackle on a line that allowed just two sacks on the night and allowed the Ravens to accumulate 367 total yards. Willis recorded a game-high 10 tackles in the loss.

As you can see, the SEC is well-represented, especially on the vaunted 49ers defense. I try to be as impartial as I can, often failing, but decide for yourself which SEC alumni had the best night last night.
