While Auburn is turning out to be an above average SEC team, they still don’t appear to be a great team. They’ll likely end the season with 8 wins or so. Remember when we thought Mississippi State would end the season with 8 wins or so? Those were fun times.
As of right now, the only games that Mississippi State will realistically have a chance to win will be against Kentucky and Samford. And it’s very possible, given what we’ve seen so far this season, that State will somehow stumble against Kentucky. The Bulldogs need to win four more games to become bowl eligible.
