Rankings from AP Poll

The 1960 Ole Miss Rebels football team represented the University of Mississippi during the 1960 college football season. The Rebels were named national champions by the Football Writers Association of America. While Ole Miss claims a share of two other national titles (both retroactive picks), this is the only one recognized by the NCAA and the college football community at large.[citation needed]

Minnesota was crowned as national champion by both major polls before the bowl games.[citation needed] The Rebels were the only major-conference team in the nation that finished the season undefeated on the field.
