Saturday, the new front runner in the SEC West takes the field when the Alabama Crimson Tide travel to Starkville for a showdown with the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Last season, Dak Prescott and the Bulldogs went into Tuscaloosa and got shown the door, dropping them from the top spot in the college football playoff rankings.
This year (with the Crimson Tide likely being one of the top two teams in the playoff rankings for this week when they are released Tuesday evening), the Bulldogs and their cowbell ringing fans are ready for their biggest home game of the season.
