Arizona State drops out of Top 25 rankings after crushing loss to Mississippi State

Week 2 of the college football season is in the books and Sun Devil fans may still be recovering from a heartbreaking loss to Mississippi State on Saturday. ASU erased a 17-point deficit in the second half down in Starkville, even taking a 20-17 lead late in the 4th quarter, but the Bulldogs scored a back-breaking last-minute touchdown to win 24-20.
