The Mississippi State football team’s win over Texas A&M got the Bulldogs’ season moving back in the right direction. MSU needed a win to propel the season forward, rather than continue to regress as a program and the win over a ranked Texas A&M team was crucial for that.
Another result of that win is that the Bulldogs have found themselves back in the AP’s Top 25. MSU knocking down the No. 16 team in the country was enough to move Mississippi State right back into the rankings.
Here’s a look at the entire AP poll:
