See if Alabama Kept its No. 1 Status in Week 5 SEC Power Rankings
Saturday Blitz SEC Power Rankings Week 5
2. Mississippi State Bulldogs, 4-0 (1-0), Idle Last Saturday
Once again, the Bulldogs have a strong case for being No. 1 on this list. The blowout win at LSU (and yes, it was a blowout despite what the score said) should still be fresh in everybody’s mind despite the bye week they had last Saturday. Dan Mullen has Mississippi State playing the best football in the state right now, although Ole Miss is not far behind.
Dak Prescott looks like a Heisman candidate, and the defense looks incredible right now as well. This team is in the Top 25 in scoring offense and scoring defense, so it looks like a complete group. Don’t forget that LSU has looked great in all of its wins, and the blowout over New Mexico State this past weekend makes the Bulldogs look a bit better. With four straight games of 30 or more points, the offense is really on a roll right now.
The week off for Mississippi State could not have come at a better time with a huge home game against Texas A&M this Saturday. This is a potential match-up to decide the SEC East, and we’ll find out even more about these Bulldogs if they can pull of this win.
