15. Mississippi State Bulldogs
Week 1 Ranking: 16
Week 1 Result: 34-17 win @ Southern Miss
Mississippi State has been a bottom dweller in the SEC for the last decade now, and a 34-17 win against Southern Miss doesn't change those feelings. The Bulldogs do deserve some credit for winning a true road game during week one, but that's the only positive takeaway from this game.
Mississippi State will likely be battling Kentuky at the bottom of the conference all season long, but the Bulldogs do have a nice opportunity in week two to beat a highly ranked Arizona State team. So if they can somehow pull out this win, then there might just be a little hope for the Bulldogs this season.
Week 2 Opponent: Arizona State
