We rich bitch! And we have a popular and growing national brand leading to national recruiting. I like where we are heading. That doesn’t mean we will win the league anytime soon, but there’s no real reason why we can’t.

It depends on how the league is setup.

Mississippi State can go anywhere between 2-8 and 4-6 against Texas when they would go 0-10 or a huge upset and go 1-9 against Alabama. If we get to trade Alabama every year for Texas, then there is potential there for it to be a net positive.

Look at the pod system that has been tossed around. A popular pod has LSU, A&M, Ole Miss and State. I know that there would be additional games, but look at what MSU has done against those three teams the past decade.

2020: 1-2
2019: 1-2
2018: 2-1
2017: 2-1 (Pod Champion)
2016: 2-1
2015: 0-3
2014: 2-1
2013: 1-2
2012: 0-3

Overall 11-16 and one year that they would have won the pod based on just the four. Three more seasons they were a close loss away from winning the pod.

Knock out Alabama every year, and you get a better chance in any other game. Its a win for teams like State.
