Where is Mississippi Again?

One thing is true half way through the season and that is that no bodies preseason top ten is correct. If you were to tell me that Notre Dame, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, FSU, and Baylor were going to be ranked in the top five at this point I would have thought you were crazy! If you told me Dac Prescott and the Bulldawgs of Mississippi State were the number one team... Get out of town. One thing is clear, more top ten teams are going to go down, more teams will continue to rise, and the Playoff will become more clear. As of right now no teams are out of it that have suffered a loss at this point. This week Notre Dame and FSU will face off which means one top 5 team will go down. Ole Miss and Miss State still have to play each other, and there is still the SEC championship. The team that has the clearest path is Baylor right? Wrong, they still have to go through three top 25 teams in Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Kansas State. There is still a ton of football left this year and I would not be surprised to see a two loss team make it into the college football playoff.

The real story so far is the two teams from Mississippi. Both have great senior leadership in Dac Prescott and Bo Wallace. One team will have to lose seeing that they play each other at the end of the year. I also believe that even though they are playing at such a high level that they will lose outside their own matchup. This.. well comes because they play in the SEC west and any team can beat anyone. These two teams have made college football fun to watch this year, which has made the madness of picking the top four teams to go to the playoffs even more enjoyable. The one sad reality is that if a one loss Alabama or Auburn team that does not make it to the SEC championship sits at home and watches either Mississippi teams lose in the SEC championship, that means they will probably go even considering an amazing year from the Bulldawgs or Rebels.
