The sports media, national and regional, just can’t figure out Mississippi State. They still subscribe to the old notions of MSU being poor and no good, so their must be a catch as to by the football program will be going to their sixth straight bowl game and have become one of the best in the SEC.
2014 was a fluke, right? MSU vaulted to #1 in the nation because they caught some breaks with bigger programs being down and State had a team full of seniors. So the media predicts the Bulldogs to finish last in the SEC West (and 13th overall).
