Not many Mississippi State fans have been lucky enough to see the Bulldogs from Starkville ranked in an AP preseason poll to take them through an end of summer Monday. Well it happened. Ranked 18th overall the Bulldogs edged out LSU (25), Oregon (24), Texas (23), and Florida State (19) in the rankings to name a few. Also receiving votes include SEC teams South Carolina (96), Florida (68), and Texas A&M (21).
Surprisingly there ended up being a few teams up in front of the boys from Starkville including Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, and Wisconsin being the top four teams.
