The problem with polls is that the people that vote in them are too hard headed to admit when they are wrong. Instead of looking at on field performance they look at where the team was ranked the week prior and move them up and down from that point. There are not 25 teams in the country better than state. Anyone that thinks otherwise at this point in the season is too stupid to be voting in a poll. They should be ranked.

We're not ranked because voters understand that a win over LSU ain't worth shite these days.

SoCar, A&M, MSU and UK should all be ranked. Not just LSU, Alabama, Auburn and Georgia.

I can name 25, but I think State should be ranked not bc they are better but bc they are in the SEC

And FPI has State at 18th and projected to finish 9-3 and finishing second in the SEC West.

I figure it will end up a lot like 2010. State went 8-4 in the regular season and trashed Michigan 52-14 in a bowl game. Ended up 15th, but easily could have been to 10. All four losses were to top 10 teams. Auburn, Arkansas and LSU were 1-2-3 heading into the final week of the season. Alabama finished No. 10.

State's going to end up 9-3 or 8-4 and get matched up with one of the Big 12 or Big 10 helmets and beat the shite out of them. Then State will be picked last in the league again next season. Rinse and repeat.

it's hard to justify LSU being ranked and not state


No it isn't, it's easy actually. LSU has progressed and done a 180. State has regressed and looks to be getting worse.

Seems about right, east is poopy right now.
If not for Kirby replacing Helen Hunt it would be full nuclear.

Here are the ranked teams that FPI says Mississippi State would be favored over if they played today.

at home
NC State
Virginia Tech push

Neutral
Southern Cal

on road
Central Florida
LSU
Michigan
Iowa State
Washington State
West Virginia
Texas A&M
South Florida
Michigan State
Memphis


There are not 25 teams better than State. There are not 25 teams better than South Carolina either. SC has the second best win of any SEC team.

It's not hard to make a "180" after losing to Troy, numbnuts.
