The 2014 college football season was an odd one. On October 20 of that year, two of the top three poll spots were occupied by the Mississippi schools, and eventual national champion Ohio State was outside of the top ten. While Ole Miss lacked staying power, the Mississippi State Bulldogs rode a stout defense and do-it-all QB Dak Prescott to a perfect record in its first nine games, and on November 15 rolled into Tuscaloosa ranked #1 in the CFP rankings to face #5 Alabama. College GameDay was in town on a freezing cold Saturday morning, and the home crowd was as loud as you’ll ever hear it.
