Mississippi State has made a run to six different bowl games under Dan Mullen. Well, some folks out here on the internets seem to think that run comes to an end in the 2016 season.
That’s right. CBS Sports has predicted that Mississippi State, along with three actually bad teams from the SEC (Missouri, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt) will be ineligible to make a bowl game this season.
Mississippi State hasn’t missed bowl season since 2009. It’s been six consecutive seasons of bowl eligibility for Dan Mullen’s squad. But that’s not evidence enough to prove that Mississippi State has stability around the program and that the overall talent level has been significantly raised in Starkville.
