Mizzou has had a dazzling start to SEC-play with wins at no. 5 Florida and versus then-no. 16 Ole Miss at home, with its only major blemish coming in an unranked road loss to Texas. Mississippi State, on the other hand, has had to go under a gauntlet. After an impressive non-conference showing which included a 33-point win over Quad 1 opponent Pitt, a convincing win over Top 20 Memphis, and just one loss, the no. 14 Bulldogs are 4-4 in SEC-play. Each of their losses have come to teams ranked no. 6 or higher at the time of defeat.
