Why, you might be wondering? Here’s why:
- Auburn is ranked No. 8 in the country, beat the current No. 10 team (Washington) and lost by a point to the current No. 5 team (LSU) that it should have beaten.
- Mississippi State has lost consecutive SEC games to fall to 3-2. Kentucky beat the Bulldogs in Lexington and Florida beat them in Starkville last week with MSU’s former head coach, Dan Mullen, on the other sideline.
- Because Mississippi State coach Joe Moorhead is a first-year FBS head coach. In the SEC. The SEC West, no less.
