Mississippi State had a season for the ages in 2014. Led by Dak Prescott and company, the Bulldogs reached number one in the country for the first time in school history. The team stayed at the top of the polls for as long as five weeks.
Mississippi State beat LSU in Death Valley, beat Kenny Trill and the Aggies, and beat Auburn in a 2-versus-3 match-up in three consecutive games. The Bulldogs hosted College Game Day and Dak Prescott was a Heisman contender for much of the season. Starkville was the center of the college football universe.
