The Mississippi State Bulldogs were put in a tough spot when Tulane canceled their 2016 trip to Starkville. Ever since then, Scott Stricklin has been trying to make the best of a bad situation. Before the cancellation, this is how the 2016 schedule stacked up.
Home Games
- 4 SEC games (Arkansas, Auburn, South Carolina, and Texas A&M)
- Tulane
- South Alabama
Road Games
- 4 SEC games (Alabama, LSU, Kentucky, and Ole Miss)
- BYU
- Louisiana Tech
Ideally, under the 12 game format, we should always play 7 home games, and in some cases 8.
