The Maroon Dawgs were the first college football program to be ranked #1 by the CFP committee in 2014.

Mississippi State also has an unclaimed national title for 1940 as listed in the NCAA Official Records Book. They were ranked #1 by the 1940 NCAA Division 1A Football Power Ratings LINK Their record was 10-0-1.

Miss. State has won one SEC title (1941); they finished second to Tennessee in 1940 as the Vols finished 5-0-0 and the Dawgs finished 4-0-1.

They have won one SEC-West Division title in 1998.

Congrats, MISSISSIPPI STATE BULLDOGS!!

The tie was against LSU. Mississippi State was struggling but the refs wanted them to win so they fricked LSU.

Interesting tidbit about that team - they got stuck on the west coast after playing an extra regular season game in San Francisco on 12/6 (we all know what happened on 12/7).

A tale as old as time.

SEC offices were HQed in Jackson in 1940. Maroon Bulldog Club check cleared.
