Mississippi State has built a solid resume, highlighted by significant wins against quality opponents like Pittsburgh and Memphis, showcasing both strong offensive capabilities and a solid defensive unit. Their ability to secure victories in neutral site games, such as against UNLV and Butler, adds to their credibility, although the loss to Butler stands out as a potential blemish. Upcoming games will be crucial, particularly matchups against Kentucky and Alabama, both of which can significantly bolster their standing with strong performances. Consistency in their defensive play will be key as they navigate a challenging Southeastern Conference schedule, where every game presents an opportunity for both improvement and risk.
