re: What is up with all ofthe mississppi state hype?

People like to point to the LSU game last year for them. They also played Bama down to the wire when it was clear Hurts was on a collision course with riding the bench. So they had some nice bright spots to build on.

But let's not forget what happened when they played the two teams that met in Atlanta. UGA blew them out 31-3. Auburn has beat them by a combined 63 over the past 2 years.

They are trending in the right direction but are a very long way away from being considered a threat to the top teams. And have an unknown with the new coach. So I'm just as confused about the confidence in them.
