Mississippi State football is 4-0, off to their best start to the season since their legendary run in 2014. They've handled business against the lesser competition they've faced and pulled out an impressive win over a ranked Arizona State squad.
It's been a strong start to the year, but AP Top 25 voters are going to need more convincing before putting the Bulldogs in their rankings. Despite their perfect record, Mississippi State remains on the outside looking in of the Week 5 AP Top 25 rankings. They're officially the second team out of the field.
